The National Jazz Archive will also focus on developing its reach and capacity by seeking out partner organisations and likeminded enterprises, entrepreneurs and musicians and industry professionals with whom we can work alongside providing they can further our objectives in an efficient and effective manner.
The trustees are agreed that the National Jazz Archive should develop its offerings so that we always appeal to a wide donor base.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual 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 & 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 incoming resources and application of resources 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;
