PARENTING ACROSS SCOTLAND - (a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation)

The management of PAS is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected by the members under the terms of the constitution. [...] PAS is very supportive of the Scottish Government’s efforts to support families in the early years and has been an active participant in the Scottish Government’s Reference Group on the Best Start Grant to ensure that it best meets the needs of families. [...] Major risks facing the charity The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. [...] Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006(as amended) (“the 2006 Regulations”). [...] The negative balance on the CYPFEIF fund is due to the timing of the quarterly grant instalments and expenditure on the project.
