The Christie Charitable Fund - 2021/22 Financial Statements Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement

The Christie Foundation NHS Trust is the sole trustee of the Charity. The NHS Trust Board devolved responsibility for the ongoing management of funds to the Charitable Funds Committee (CFC) which administers the funds on behalf of the Corporate Trustee. The Corporate Trustee and CFC are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations, and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as is determined necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The financial statements must be prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102. The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The trustee and CFC must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustee and CFC are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102); - make judgements and accounting 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 trustee and CFC are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
