authorltles all with different referral and allocation criteria.

need for housing with a local connection and additional vulnerabilities. A further 5 beds were
funded by Charnwood to provide supported accommodation for people in emergency
situations while their houslng need was being assessed. An addltional 2 emergency beds were
funded specifically for rough sleepers who had been verified as rough sleeping in the
Charnwood area.

Responslbllltles of the Management Committee
Company law requires the management commlttee to prepare financial statements for each
financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company 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 management committee should follow best practice
and:
21

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The management commlttee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company
and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act
2006. The management committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
charitable company and hence fortaking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of
fraud and other irregularities.
Members of the Management Committee

and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of
