Sports City Foundation set itself the task of changing this. Sports City Foundations’ work was begun in England, but the Board has committed to extending this model of work and our operations to all parts of the UK

STATEMENT OF THE BOARDS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Board is responsible for preparing the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Company law requires the Board to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the chanty and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its net income and expenditure for the year.

In preparing these accounts, the Board is required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
make Judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, and
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the chanty will continue in operation.

The Board is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the chanty and which enable it to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 1985. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the chanty and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a financial report and for no other purpose to the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

We consider the implications for our report If we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the accounts. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and Judgements made by the Board in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the chanty's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error in forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the accounts.
