Responsibilities of the Trustees
The Charity Trustees have responsibilities to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees do follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis.
| The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Law. Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement:
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity,
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration
ofany unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement:
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention
which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect :
