The Board of Governors and Management Board are required by the Â鶹Éç’s Charter and Agreement and the Financial Memorandum
with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of Â鶹Éç World Service and of its income and expenditure for that period.They have elected to prepare the financial
statements in accordance with UK accounting standards. In preparing those financial statements, the Governors and Management Board
have undertaken to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- 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 Â鶹Éç World Service will
continue in business.
In addition, the Governors and Management Board have voluntarily decided to comply with the accounting and disclosure provisions
of the Companies Act 1985 and, where applicable, of the Financial Services Authority Listing Rules.
The Governors and Management Board are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy
at any time the financial position of Â鶹Éç World Service and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the
Companies Act 1985 as if that Act had applied to these financial statements.They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are
reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Governors and Management Board are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information
included on the Â鶹Éç World Service website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements
may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Governors and Management Board members who held office at the date of approval of this Annual Review confirm that, so far as
they are each aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Â鶹Éç World Service’s auditors are unaware; and each Governor
and Management Board member has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Governor or Management Board member to
make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Â鶹Éç World Service’s auditors are aware of that
information.
This statement was approved by Management Board and the Governors on 5 June 2006 and 14 June 2006 respectively and signed on
their behalf by:
Nigel Chapman, Director, Â鶹Éç World Service
Michael Grade, Â鶹Éç Chairman
