Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities for the accounts.
The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the trustees’ responsibilities for the accounts from those of the accountants as stated in their report.
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to ensure that accounting records are kept in respect of all charity’s transactions, and to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting period consisting of a statement of income and expenditure account and a balance sheet. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of error, fraud and other irregularities.
In preparing the accounts the trustees are expected to:
1) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
2) Follow the recommendations of the Charity Commission and of the accounting profession with regard to from and content of the accounts, or to disclose and explain any departures therefrom: and
3) Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will be able to continue to meet its objectives.
