Risk Management
The trustees actively review the major risk, which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining appropriate reserves, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare the financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
(a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
(b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
(c) State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
(d) Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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 Charities Act 2011. 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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Baseera on accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 Set out on pages 5 to 7
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
-examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
-to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act and
-
-to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act 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 reached.
