KONDANANI UK
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
KONDANANI UK
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2022 which are set out in
the accompanying St3tement of Financial Activity.
Respective responsibilities of Trnstees
and examiner
The charitys trnstees consider that an audit is not
required for this year (under sertton 43{2J of the
Charities Art 1993 (the Art)) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to-
-examine the accounts (under section 43 of the
act)
-to follow the procedures laid down In the General
Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 43(7)0)) of the act), and
-to state whether particular matters have corne to
my attention.
Basis of independent examiners statement My examillation was rdrried out in accordance
with general directions given by the Charity
Commissioner& An examinatffion Includes a review
of the accounting records kept by the charity aTJd a
comparison of the accounts presented with those
records.
It also includes consideration of any unusual items
or disclosures in the accounts and seektng
explanations from the trustees concerning any
such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide alI the evidence that would be required in
an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view
and the report is limited to those matter5 set out in
the ststement below.
Independent examiners statement
In the course of my examination no matter has
come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe
that in any material
respect the
requirements..
-to keep accounting records in accordance
with section 41 of the act and
-to prepare accounts which accord with the
accounting records and comply with

accounting requirements of the 1993
Charities Art have not been met.. or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should
be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be
reache
