Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	A combination of online weekly classes and special in-person events has made the knowledge accessible to a diverse audience from many communities, from the young to the old, from different backgrounds. Around 500 people attend the six weekly classes on an average every week. A team of 20 volunteers assist the Institute in a true spirit of cooperative endeavour. ‘Science of Karma & Destiny’, an in-person public lecture was given by Bhaskarji at Conway Hall in June 2023, and it was attended by around 400 people from various parts of London. People of a diverse age, ethnicity and gender were represented in the audience. Bhaskarji conducted a weekend retreat in October 2023 titled ‘Perfection through Devotion’ for a group of 60 people who signed up for the event. This was an excellent opportunity to connect with like- minded individuals and learn positive values of life that uplifted and inspired them. Bhaskarji conducted an online public lecture in February 2024 specifically

targeted towards the youth. Titled ‘Mental Wellbeing for Youth’, the talk drew many youngsters from all over the world. After the lecture the recording was uploaded to YouTube and that further attracted many people. Bhaskarji conducted a two-day lecture series on ‘Decode the Gita’ at the popular Harrow Arts Centre in March 2024. People were thrilled to attend and benefit from the values that were presented in a logical and liberal manner. Two cycles of 6-week ‘Vedanta Introductory Course’ were conducted by Bhaskarji. Over 100 people attended each course.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Contractual income and performance related grants Donated goods Donated services and facilities Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition Volunteer help Income from interest, royalties and dividends Income from membership subscriptions Settlement of insurance	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a

2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets Stocks and work in progress Debtors Grants with performance conditions Grants payable without performance conditions Redundancy cost Deferred income Creditors Provisions for liabilities Basic financial instruments Tangible fixed assets for use by charity Investments Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost.

The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. They are valued at cost. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Settlement of insurance claims Investment gains and losses Liability recognition Governance and support costs				ü

Set out on pages Section A (Statement of Financial Activities) – SOFA Page 1 Section B (Balance Sheet) – Page 2

(Remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and in accordance with the legal requirements and good practice recommendations set out in the Commission’s guidance on independent examination of charity accounts.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes reviews/checks of the:

bookkeeping including sample source documents, reconciliations & accounting records maintained in XERO cloud accounting software, Google Drive and SOFA by the charity and verification & comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
It also includes consideration of any usual items and disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees and directors 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 statement below.

IER

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination ( ~~other than that disclosed below *~~ ) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
