Statement of Highways Agency and Chief Executive's responsibilities

2. In preparing the Accounts the Agency is required to:
(a) comply with the HM Treasury Resource Accounting Manual, including the relevant accounting and disclosure requirements, and apply suitable accounting policies on a consistent basis;
(b) make judgements and estimates on a reasonable basis;
(c) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed and disclose and explain any material departures in the financial statements;
(d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Agency will continue in operation.
3. The responsibilities of the Accounting Officer, including his responsibility for the propriety of the public finances for which he is answerable and for the keeping of proper records, are set out in the Accounting Officers' Memorandum, issued by the Treasury and published in Government Accounting.
