## **Objectives of the CIO** 

To relieve poverty amongst those who have no access to clean water, health care, food, clothes, accommodation and education or who are displaced refugees in such ways as the Trustees shall think fit including the provision of grants or donations of items or funds and supporting charities working with such people.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year. 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;

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping 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 companies Act. They 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.
