## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a registered charity and is controlled by its governing document, a Memorandum  and  Articles  of  Association,  and  constitutes  a company  limited  by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, which does not have a share capital. The directors therefore do not have any financial interest in the company nor are there any significant contracts in which they have a material interest. 

Trustees are appointed at the annual general meeting in accordance with charity’s governing  documents  and  are  selected  on  the  basis  of  their  knowledge  and experience. All trustees undertake appropriate training relevant to their position on the board. 

The directors who served during the year and since the year-end are set out on page 1. The directors who are also trustees meet regularly to discuss the affairs of the charity and to assess and approve grant applications, if any, through a Distribution Committee, which has been established to supervise donations of the charity. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees regularly monitor the charity's functions to assess any risks that may arise and take steps to mitigate them. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The  objects  of  the  charity  are  to  advance,  transmit,  spread  and  propagate  the religion of Hinduism, as revealed in the teachings of the Hindu scriptures, specifically Bhagvad Gita and Shrimad Bhagvatam, and the doctrines of and observances that serve to promote and manifest the said religion and in furtherance of this object but not otherwise, the charity shall have the following powers : 

(1) To educate the public generally in an awareness of God and promote a simpler and more natural way of life 

- (2) To build or assist in building schools, temples, colleges, hospitals, hostels or other buildings in connection with and for the advancement  of the objects of the charity, and to maintain, alter and improve the same including existing buildings and to furnish and equip the same 

- (3) To spread, transmit and propagate the teachings of the Bhagvad Gita, and the Shrimad 

Bhagvatam and the doctrines that manifest the religion of Hinduism through various forms of media and television

- (4) To print publish, sell or cause to be printed, published, sold or, if thought fit, to distribute gratuitously books, booklets, leaflets and the like for the purpose of giving information in regard to the work of the charity 

- (5) To relieve suffering and poverty as a means of expressing key tenants of the religion of Hinduism. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissioner's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the Trust's aim and  objectives  and  in  planning  future  activities.  The  trustees  consider  that  the charity's aims are demonstrably to the public benefit. 

## **Strategic report** 

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity is the religious authority for Avanti Schools Trust ("AST"). AST is well established. AST staff are working extremely hard supporting the existing schools and is establishing a common set of policies and procedures and has put in place strong and robust financial and reporting procedures in the past 12 months. 

## **Financial review** 

The charity's affairs and activities for the year are presented in the attached financial statements which show an excess of income over expenditure of £402,467 (2019: excess of expenditure over income £248,226). The balances of the unrestricted funds were £1,323.780 

(2019: £773,703) and the balance of the restricted funds were £8,576,643 (2019: £8,724,253). 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Trustees have been considering the purpose and state of this Charity. The Charity has effectively been dormant since the completion of construction of the Krishna Avanti Primary School and the refurbishment of Avanti Court Primary School. In 2016 the Charity transferred the assets of Avanti Court Primary School to Avanti Schools Trust Ltd, a multi-academy trust. It now only has the Krishna Avanti School as an asset of the Charity with no income being received from the School. Both the schools converted to Academies and are now part of Avanti Schools Trust. The Trustees are in correspondence  with  the  Department  of  Education  and  Harrow  Council  seeking permission to transfer the property and related assets to Avanti Schools Trust Ltd. The Trustees will consider windup of the Charity once this has been achieved. It is our intention to also gift the remaining assets of the Charity to Avanti Schools Trust Ltd.

**Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2020** 

## **Trustees' responsibilities statement** 

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

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

The  trustees  are  responsible  for  keeping  adequate  accounting  records  that  are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible  for  safeguarding  the  assets  of  the  charity  and  hence  for  taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Auditor** 

Each of the persons who is a trustee at the date of approval of this report confirms that: 

- so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware; and 

- they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. 

A  resolution  to  reappoint  Macalvins  Limited  as  auditors  will  be  proposed  at  the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hindu Education Authority Ltd** 

## **Year ended 31 August 2020** 

## **Opinion** 

We  have audited the financial  statements of  Hindu Education Authority  Ltd (the 'charity')  for  the  year  ended  31 August 2020  which  comprise  the  statement  of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant  accounting  policies.  The  financial  reporting  framework  that  has  been applied  in  their  preparation  is  applicable  law  and  United  Kingdom  Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 August 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have  been  properly  prepared  in  accordance  with  United  Kingdom  Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 

- 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the  trustees  have  not  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  any  identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

**Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hindu Education Authority Ltd** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2020** 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial  statements and our auditor’s  report  thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the  audit  or  otherwise  appears  to  be  materially  misstated.  If  we  identify  such material  inconsistencies  or apparent  material  misstatements, we  are  required  to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material  misstatement of  the  other  information.  If,  based  on  the  work  we  have performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the  trustees'  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  applicable  legal 

- requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and 

- returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our 

- audit.

## **Hindu Education Authority Ltd** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

**Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Hindu Education Authority Ltd** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2020** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are  also the directors for the purposes of company  law) are  responsible for  the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,  and  to  issue  an  auditor’s  report  that  includes  our  opinion.  Reasonable assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence  the  economic  decisions  of  users  taken  on  the  basis  of  these  financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and  assess  the  risks  of material misstatement  of  the  financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive  to  those  risks,  and  obtain  audit  evidence  that  is  sufficient  and appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control. 

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. 

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures

- Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial statements,  including  the  disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably  measured.  The  following  specific  policies  are  applied  to  particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be  reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose  and  returned  if  unspent,  in  which  case  it  may  be  regarded  as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure  is  recognised  on  an  accruals  basis  as  a  liability  is  incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries,  including  those  support  costs  and  costs  relating  to  the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All  costs  are  allocated  to  expenditure  categories  reflecting  the  use  of  the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried  at  revalued  amounts  are  recorded  at  the  fair  value  at  the  date  of revaluation  less  any  subsequent  accumulated  depreciation  and  subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment  that  has  previously  been  recognised  as  expenditure  within  the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Freehold Building - Over 50 years Plant & Equipment - Over 10 years 

## **4. Limited by guarantee** 

The company is limited by guarantee.It has no share capital but each member undertakes, in the event of winding up to contribute up to £1 towards the cost and expenses of winding up.
