## **Trustees’ responsibilities** 

Charity law requires trustees, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company and of the results of the company at that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any materials departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the charity Act. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps and detect fraud and other irregularities.
