Forge Care Homes Limited

The company's principal activity continues to be that of care home facilities for the elderly and disabled. The company maintains a dedicated full-time accounts department which operates in accordance with a clear structure of procedures, controls, and duties. The directors directly oversee the accounts department on a day-to-day basis, and use the accounts data arising to produce meaningful management accounts which they use to assist their governance of the company. In the opinion of the directors, the accounting structure is sufficiently robust to ensure that all transactions are appropriately and timeously recorded in accordance with their nature, enabling them to identify and respond to any financial risks arising or likely to arise internally. Additionally, the directors regard the collective expertise in the care home sector of the management team (including themselves) as equal to identifying and communicating any external financial risks as they might arise, and to considering and implementing an appropriate response.
