ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year, the Charity was only able to undertake some activities to support the needs of local Kurdish community. The work was affected by a dispute among trustees, some of whom had a conflict of interest with another entity which impacted in unauthorised decisions and lack of access to facilities of the charity in part of the year. This resulted in governance issues and operational difficulties.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The trustees have considered the general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and has taken due regard of that guidance. The trustees consider that they are satisfied that the charity’s activities undertaken during part of the year did benefit the public and will further deliver public benefit after the dispute is resolved.

The charity did not give grants during this period and this was suspended until resolution of the dispute.

During the year, the charity was able to deliver projects and had a total expenditure of £22,518 (2023: £99,743). This generated a surplus of £12,071 which was added to prior year reserves.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KIND AID INTERNATIONAL
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is sufficient for external scrutiny.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees 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.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention 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 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.

KIND AID INTERNATIONAL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD TO 31 MARCH 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The new accounting policies are relevant to the size and nature of the charity's income for the period.
The change in accounting policy has only resulted in minor non-material differences arising. As such no requirement to restate prior or current year figures has arisen.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
b) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose and the restriction means that the funds can only be used for specific projects or activities.
c) Incoming resources
Voluntary income, including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature, are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions. Grant income included in this category provides funding to support programme activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
d) Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Funding provided through contractual agreements and performance related grants are recognised as goods or services are supplied. Other grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that results in the payment being an unavoidable commitment.
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
