REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity is overseen by the 3 trustees but the day to day running and decisions are made by the 3 primary managers - the resident teacher, Education Programme Coordinator and the Administrative Director. We have an AGM each year where all the managers, trustees, treasurer and charity members (which include all the resident teachers of all the other UK Kadampa Centres) meet to discuss the year and check the accounts. Trustees are appointed by being proposed by a manager or current trustee and then seconded by another. Each trustee can only serve on a 3 year basis other than Jennifer Andrews who is appointed by the New Kadampa Tradition (the Buddhist tradition we are associated with). The treasurer provides the manager and the trustees with a monthly report giving an overview of the finances.
Our objectives are to provide affordable, practical and qualified meditation classes, courses and retreats to anyone within the Cheshire area both at our premises in Northwich and also to branch classes throughout the county. These events are offered to anyone, not just Buddhists.
Before the Covid 19 situation we were very much thriving with attendance numbers to classes and courses growing each year and were looking for several years to move to larger premises. Unfortunately, like many other charities and businesses we suffered in terms of attendance and finance from 2020 and have been working hard to recover over the last few years. Though not quite at the level we were at, we feel that things have begun to stabilize in the last 6 months and we hope to start once again growing year by year.
Even though our financial situation suffered a little through the pandemic we have remained in a comfortable position with continual monthly income from classes and courses and also from tenancy as our building is partially residential. We have healthy reserves in our savings account that we, as yet, have not had to use during these harder few years.The charity currently has no debts.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Odiyana Kadampa Meditation Centre Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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 in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income with related expenditure

Donations and legacies
Voluntary income by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable and only when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Income from tax reclaims is included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates.
Volunteer help
The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts.
Investment income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on raising funds
These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities
These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objectives, including the making of grants and governance costs.

Governance costs
These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
