Charity law requires the trustees and the committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees and the committee select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; adopt policies in accordance with the statement of recommended practice and with applicable accounting standards, 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 assume that the charity will continue its charitable activities. 

The trustees and the committee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 and 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
