## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Sikh Welfare and Research Trust**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages three to six.
## **Respec�ve responsibili�es of trustees and examiner**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examina�on of the Trust’s accounts carried out under sec�on 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examina�on I have followed all applicable direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report**
My examina�on was carried out in accordance with the general direc�ons given by the Charity Commission. An examina�on includes a review of the accoun�ng records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considera�on of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking and explana�ons from you as trustees concerning any such ma�ers. 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 ma�ers set out in the statements below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
a�en�on in connec�on with the examina�on giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. Accoun�ng records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by sec�on 130 of the Act; or
2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a ma�er considered as part of an independent examina�on.
a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
