Keeping these principles in mind the trustees of Veerayatan UK has taken many steps. It supports schools which have been set up in locations in Bihar and Gujarat providing academic and moral education to children from underprivileged backgrounds and a project to set up more schools throughout India. Veerayatan UK also supports operations being undertaken by a modern eye hospital situated at the Veerayatan site in Rajgir Bihar and a eye clinic in Palitana, Gujarat.

## Reserves policy
Reserves vary from year to year but are generally made up of unexpended amounts which will be expended in future years for furthering the charities objectives.
## Statement of trustees' responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view the trustees should follow best practice and:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently:
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent:
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practices have been followed, subject to any departures as explained in the financial statements: and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable laws, regulations and trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## Independent examiner’s report to the charity trustees of The Veerayatan UK
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Veerayatan UK for the year ended 30 September 2025.
## Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
