The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The board of trustees actively review the major risks facing the charity on a regular basis and ensure measures are put in place to safeguard the charity’s fund and assets. The trustees also ensure that legal advice is sought, when necessary, on crucial issues concerning the ministry.
