## **Greater Shantallow Community Arts Report of The Management Committee** 

## **Members Responsibilities In Relation To The Financial Statements** 

The members are reponsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The law applicable to charities in Northern Ireland requires the members to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit in the financial year. In doing so the members are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 members are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. The members 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. 

A resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that McGroarty McCafferty **&** Company Ltd be re-appointed as accountants for the charity for the ensuing year.
