WELSHPOOL HOSPITAL LEAGUE OF FRIENDS
The activities of the League during the year are noted in detail in the attached Accounts and the League is especially proud of the fact that, due to the willingness of its members, its expenditure on fund-raising is almost negligible.
The notes of these Accounts show the help given to the patients and the general delivery of the charitable works of the hospital. Liaison continues with Powys Teaching Health Board regarding the effective and prudent exercise and delivery of the objects of the Charity.
The League is the beneficiary of two estates, the administration of which is not complete, due to delays in the related property sales.
Trustees' Responsibilities for the Financial Statements:
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 Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
– state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any 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 operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Section 132 of the Charities Act 2011. They 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.
