- 2) The advancement of education in the Hindu faith, Hindu traditions, history, literature, music and the Gujarati language. 

The charity achieves these objectives through the following means: 

- 1)  Prayer services held twice daily, where discourses, aarti, kirtan, dhun and stotras are performed.  All persons are welcome to the services; 

- 2)  All religious festivals are celebrated with great enthusiasm; 

- 3)  Learned Sadhus from India regularly visit the temple and hold special discourses;

## **Significant activities** 

## Activities Review 

The Trustees are pleased with the successful and smooth completion of the Charity's year and the level of voluntary donations received and progress it has made in supporting its Charitable activities. 

## Oldham New Temple Project - 

The trustees are pleased to announce that the new Oldham Temple project received planning approval from Oldham Council in June 2019. As a result, the second instalment for the land cost has been paid, with the balance being paid upon completion of the new Temple, recorded as a creditor of SSMB. Furthermore, Oldham temple devotees were fortunate to have the presence of Mahant Swami and many senior saints from Bhuj India in the UK during the year and in August 2019, the Khat Murat (ground-breaking ceremony) was carried out in grand fashion. Works started in July 2020 and the initial completion timeframe is scheduled for the Summer of 2022.

The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission, including public benefit guidance.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 November 2020** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Financial review** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The principal fund sources for the Charity continue to be through general donations from the global devotee base of the Swaminarayan faith, particularly those of the Nar-Narayan Dev Diocese. During the year, Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Oldham converted their £200,000 loan into a restricted donation for the purposes of the new temple construction. 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds are built to meet and fulfil the loan obligations undertaken to facilitate the purchase of the land and buildings for use of establishing educational facilities. Additionally, funds which are restricted for specific purposes e.g. development of Oldham temple are accounted for as such under restricted funds. 

## **Going concern** 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The Trustees believe that there are no going concern matters that would affect the Charity for the foreseeable future , as its sole parent and ultimate parent together with its creditors have indicated their willingness to support the charity. 

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The trustees identify the major risks to which the Charity is exposed to each financial year when preparing and updating a strategic plan, in particular, those areas related to the operations and finances of the Charity. The Trustees then review any major risks which have been identified and establish systems to mitigate those risks. The Trustees continue to put in place appropriate internal controls and monitoring procedures to minimise financial risks. 

## **Future plans** 

The Charity, trustees and volunteers have worked hard to continue to increase the level of donations and to raise funding (both donations and loans) to meet the significantly large capital commitment required to build the new Oldham Temple. This initiative is a key short term priority for the Charity. Momentum has also taken shape with on-line congregational meetings  in 2021 given the current COVID pandemic has slowed progress. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Oldham for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and - the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

## **AUDITORS** 

The auditors,  Parker Cavendish, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Oldham** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Oldham (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 November 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

- In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 November 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

## **Emphasis of matter** 

We draw attention to note 14 of the financial statements, which describes the loan repayment conditions. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Oldham** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

These are repayable  at par on the third anniversary of their issue with a  provision that any lender may request a repayment with a 30 day notice. The trustees are of the opinion that even though this provision exists, they consider that these loans should be classified as due after 1 year as they do not consider repayment will be required before the  expiry of the term. These loans are classified as public benefit concessionary loans and as such the public benefit concessionary loan exemptions have been applied. The loans are included at cost and are not adjusted or discounted. 

## **Going concern** 

The Covid-19 pandemic and related lockdowns have created economic uncertainty for all organisations including the charity. In assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern the trustees have considered the circumstances of the charity, taking into account the impact of the pandemic and  the terms of the loans from devotees and Temples affiliated to Shree Swaminarayan Temple Bhuj, India. The trustees have noted that  there have been additional loans since the year end, and as a result there are no going concern issues that would affect the charity for the foreseeable future and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
