The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. 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 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 Trust will continue in operation

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 and SORP 2005. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
