In preparlng the financlal statements the congregational committee should follow best practice and: select suitable accounting pollcles and apply them consistently. make Judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; follow the recommendations of the accountlng professional with regard to the form and content of the financlal statements, or to disclose and explain any departures therefrom. and prepare financial statements on the going concern basis, unless It Is inappropriate to assume that the congregation will be able to continue to meet its obligations. The congregatlonal committee are responsible for keeping proper accountlng records of all the congregational transactions whlch dlsclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the congregation and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the disclosure ￿gUlations. They are also responslble for safeguarding the congregational assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detettion of fraud, error and other irregularities.
