OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR WORK

The religious association's object and its principal activity is that of propagating hinduism and working towards the social, cultural, spiritual and educational uplift of one and all.
The religious association is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. All the trustees work part time in administering both the day to day administration of the association and organising spiritual gatherings such as prayers.
Statement of Directors' and Trustees' Responsibilities
The Charities Acts and the Companies Acts require the board of Trustees to prepare financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Pracrice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business, and - state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statments comply with Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF BHAKT BHAKTI AUR BHAGWAN ASHRAM UK
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
(ii) to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
(iii) 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:
(i) the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or (ii) the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
(iii) 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.
