In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
