DR R L A JAYAWEERA
(SETTLOR)
PRIVATE CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEE’S REVIEW
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
The Trust has continued this year to provide funds to people for basic living expenses, housing costs and educational expenses. The economic and political situation in the country remains fragile and volatile, made far worse by the impact of Covid. The tourism industry, which was a major source of employment, has collapsed. The cost of basic foodstuffs such as milk, rice and vegetables has risen, as has the cost of utilities. People’s lives have been made extremely difficult as a result of freak weather conditions and flooding. A number of the people who the Trust assists are suffering ill health because they are unable to afford nutritious food. The global economic slowdown has affected business conditions and the availability of employment, and some of the people the trust supports are young people who are unable to find permanent or full-time employment and are required to ask their parents to continue to support them.
The Trust continues to provide financial support to individuals who would otherwise have no income on which to survive.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Dr RLA Jayaweera (Settlor) Private Charitable Trust
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2022, which are set out on page 2.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
