Risk Assessment
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the charity's exposure to the major risks.
Business review and outlook
Since the charity was registered with the Charity Commission in May 2020, preparations have been made to transfer the activities undertaken by the original Tushinde Children's Trust which was registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR). During 2020, no activities were undertaken by the charity, the funds raised and all programme delivery expenses were incurred by the Scottish charity. This report should therefore be read with reference to that of the Scottish charity for a full and complete picture of Tushinde's UK activities during 2020.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the income and expenditure of the Charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The trustees 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.
