The Sherborne Girls Foundation TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of the charity's constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's published general and relevant sub-sector guidance concerning the operation of the public benefit requirement under that Act.

In so far as each of the Trustees of the charity at the date of approval of this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the charity's auditor in connection with preparing the audit report) of which the charity's auditor is unaware. Each Trustee has taken all the steps that they should have taken as a Trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
