## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the profit or loss of the charity for that period. In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- follow applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts. 

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with standard accounting practices. 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.
