STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Registered Social Housing Legislation and the Charities Act 2011 require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs and of its

income and expenditure for the period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: -

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
« Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether applicable UK accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 4 April 1997 by which the Charity was constituted, Section 1 to the Housing Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice- Accounting by Registered Social Landlords and the Accounting Requirements for Registered Social Landlords General Determination 2022. They are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
