Dallow Development Trust Limited Statement of Trustee Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Dallow Development Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Dallow Development Trust continues to make a positive impact on the local community by providing both educational and recreational activities at The Dallow Centre with our partners in both the voluntary and statutory sectors, creating cohesive communities amongst the diverse residents that reside in the area. The Dallow Centre is the central hub within the Dallow Ward, which is accessed by a number of charitable organisations for various charitable events, in order to fund raise for both national and international causes. This provides the Trust further opportunities to build their capacity in terms of multi-agency work and at the same time raising our profile locally, nationally and internationally.
