## **Objectives and Activities**
The principal objective of the charity is alleviation of poverty, the relief and assistance of persons facing financial hardship, sickness and poor health, particulalry the elderly and the promotion of religious harmony for the benefit of the public. As such it organises an annual charity walk and other charity events to riaise funds that are used to achive its purpose.

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The Trustees/Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law, the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law. Under company law, the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of resources of the Charity for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- 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 a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.
## **Small Companies Provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under the Companies Act 2006 and have not prepared the strategice report.
Signed on behalf of the Board of Directors:
Dr Chaudhry Ijaz Ur Rehman Chairman Charity Walk for Peace

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINAR TO THE MEMBERS OF CHARITY WALK FOR PEACE for the year ended 31 December 2022**
I report on the accounts of Charity Walk for Peace for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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 needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under the company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act ; and
- 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 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 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 matter came 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 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.
