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 :- 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed , subject to any material 

- departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

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 steps 

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.

## **Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara 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 ende31 December 2024** 

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 2024** 

## **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.
