However, such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement of loss. The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal control. In particular, it has reviewed and updated the process for identifying and evaluating the major risks affecting the business and the policies and procedures by which these risks are managed. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Charitable objects** For the public benefit, the relief of poverty, suffering and distress amongst children in England & Wales and other parts of the world; through the provision of resources and support to the less privileged children in order to assist them in accessing quality education and vocational trainings.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reaasonale steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
