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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 41. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that : . proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and . accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **----- Start of picture text -----**

2021 Census:
For the last few years, the Bhagwan Valmiki Sabha have been working closely
with local and national Census organisations to promote the inclusion of the
Valmiki religion in it’s own right on the Census. In the latter half of 2020 we
were fortunate to get such recognition from the government. As such, Valmiki’s ts
are officially recognised as their own religion and not as a subset of Hinduism. >
Working closely with other national Valmiki communities, we are promoting the “
naming of ‘Valmiki’ as our religion and promoting knowledge and understanding @
of the UK Census in 2021. G
