The charity is managed by the office bearers and committee members. The trustees do not take part in the management of the Gurdwara. All the real property of the charity is vested in the trustees and are responsible for the safe custody and conduct of all funds of the Gurdwara.

The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees

According to the contstitution the following considerations are appllicable for the appointment of trustees:-

1.) Five trustees are elected for a period of four years only by the general body of members.

2.) Out of total of five trustees at least one must be female.

3.) Should two or fewer nominations are received, then the election shall be cancelled and the current holding trustees terms of office be extended for a further four years period. 4.) Each trustee must be a home owner.

5.) Each prospective trustee is required to pay non refundable nomination fee of £200. 6.) On the matter of general membership eligibility, only a person who has been attending the Gurudwara regularly for at least two years prior to date of current election will be considered for membership.

The organisational structure of the charity and how decisions are made.

The charity is governed by the Board of Trustees,which is responsible for the policies of the organisations.

Financial Review

Policies on reserves

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equate to approximately 6 months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. Unrestricted funds are maintained at least at this level throughout the year.

Principal funding sources and how expenditure in the year under review has supported the key objectives of the charity.

The Charity is financially sound and will be able to conduct its affairs in order to carry out its objectives for the foreseeable futures.

During the year the charity was sucessful in meeting its contractual obligations against both the comercial and flexible mortgages.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Transactions and Financial position

The financial statements are set out on pages 7 to 10. The financial statements have been prepared implementing the 2005 Revision of the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (revised in June 2008) and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities ( effective April 2008) . Inspite of reduced income due to after effect of COVID-19 restrictions, the trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been fairly satisfactory.

The Statement of Financial Activities show net incoming resources for the year of a revenue nature of £664,769 and net realised incoming resources of a capital nature of £273,338 making net overall realised incoming resources of £5,098,084.

Charity Law requires the Board to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

The trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended31 December 2023

I report on the financial statements of the Charity on pages 7 to 10 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective January 2007 , adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005, revised in June 2008, under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on page 5 , the Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. It is my responsibility to state , on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act , whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken

I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a detailed review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements , and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2005), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity.

We planned and performed our examination so as to satisfy ourselves that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report we obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, report and opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above , 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 Act; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act or of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2005 have not been met or

2) to which, in my opinion , attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 43 of the 1993 Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commissioners under subsection (7)(b) of that section which are applicable.

Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of the accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008 , and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, (revised June 2008) adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations . The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Acts , and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report, all of which are continuing.

Insofar as the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, (revised June 2008) requires compliance with specific Financial Reporting Standards other than the FRSSE then the specific Financial Reporting Standards have been followed where their requirements differ from those of the FRSSE.

Accounting convention

The financial statements are prepared,on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and fixed asset investments.

The charity is entirely dependent on continuing donations, grants and gift aid rebates and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing donations, grants and gift aid rebates.

Incoming Resources

Donations, grants and gift aid rebates are accounted for as received by the charity. Where funding is specifically for spending in a subsequent accounting period then the relevant portion is deferred and included within creditors. Incoming resources also includes income from the sale of publications and other items, and hire of kitchen and hall facilities.

Recognition of liabilities

Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (revised June 2008) , issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales .

Fixed assets and depreciation

Free hold properties are not depreciated as the trustees do not consider that there has been any impairment in value.
