Statement of the Council of Management’s responsibilities
Company law requires the Council of Management to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the income and expenditure of the company for the period. In preparing those financial statements, the council is required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
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;
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the foundation will continue in operation.
The council of management is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. It has general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to it to safeguard the assets of the company and prevent and detect fraud or other irregularities.
By order of the council
