The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that the systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
## **Objectives and activities**

- The advancement of Hindu religion
- The advancement of Education
- The relief of poverty, hardship and illness amongst the homeless and needy;
To meet this objective the charity seeks donations from the community along with rents received from the investment property and provides grants and donations to other charities in line with its objects. There have been no changes in the charity's objects or policies during the year.
## **Financial review**
The charity had net incoming resources of £15,622 (2022 - £16,199) resulting in a total funds carried forward at 31[st] December 2023 of £723,530 (2022 - £707,908).
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year. 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 Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
Page 2
## **V.K. P.V. Mirpuri Foundation “Drops of Kindness”**
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper 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 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2015. 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.
On behalf of the board

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of V.K. & P.V. Mirpuri Foundation**
We report on the accounts of the V.K. & P.V. Mirpuri Foundation for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages 2 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is our 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 Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- (i) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep proper 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
- (ii) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
