Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity became a registered charity on 7[th] May 1996 soon after the adoption of the constitution. The organisation is governed by the members of the council who are appointed as prescribed by the bye-laws. Trustees are elected in accordance with the constitution.
Trustees are recruited for their service to the Charity or their skills in the areas of the charity's principal activities. Trustees are elected for a term of one year and are eligible for re-election, except for the five holding Trustees who serve a term of five years and have to be life members of the charity. Trustees are sought in a variety of ways involving exploration of the field of potential candidates, including recommendation from existing Trustees and supporting Members. Potential trustees are scrutinised by nominations.
All new trustees undergo a structured introduction to the operations of the charity. Trustees meetings are held quarterly to review and agree major areas of policy. The responsibility for reviewing key areas of activity and policy are delegated to members of the board.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the Charity. The reserves at the end of the financial year were £61,127 of which £19,819 were restricted reserves. The trustees are continually seeking to increase the unrestricted reserve fund.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The trustees have examined the principal areas of the Charity's operations and consider the major risks which may arise in each of these areas. In the opinion of the trustees, the Charity has established resources and reviewed systems which, under normal circumstances, should allow the risks to be identified by them to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day operations
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The trustees have considered the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission and are satisfied that they have complied with the guidance when exercising their powers or duties during the year.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Charity funds are held on deposit at Lloyds Bank Plc, Punjab National Bank and with CCLA Investment Management Ltd.
OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES
During the year, the Board has continued to seek every opportunity in obtaining donations from every available source. They have maintained their continued charitable activities which has generated income from its Event Hosting and private and project specific Donations.
The Committee are determined to maintain its direct charitable activities.
As well as the Committee, the Charity depends very much on the hard work of many volunteers who have helped the organisation with its activities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Association of Mandhata Samaj UK
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages five to eight.
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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the 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 statements 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 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
