Trustees’ Report Year ended 31 August 2023

Reserve’s policy

Trustees are conscious of their responsibility to ensure that Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Digambar Jain Charitable Trust London remains on a sound financial grounding and are aware of the growing pressure on finances to make decisions on where they place financial support for charitable and educational initiatives at a desired level. A free reserves unrestricted fund is, therefore, under discussion and will be framed up after building a temple objective is achieved.

The Trustees review the Charity’s reserve policy for unrestricted fund at intervals during the year by reviewing accounts and income expenditure budgets. Currently & since the foundation/inception of the charity, events and unforeseen expenditure are met by raising funds during the events itself and daily activities are managed by volunteer time free of cost provided by Trustees and members alike.

The trustees continue to aim further fund raising through donations and fund-raising events; to continue financing the refurbishment of the building of Temple.

Freehold Property

During the year the Charity completed the purchase of the property at The Old Barn, Bennetts Close, Cippenham which was exchanged in March 23. It is a big property, 2 storeys with large parking area that suits the Charity in the pursuit of its principal objectives and aims. It is suitable for the temple worship and prayer meet. The activities and events of the trust are conducted from this new property mostly. In case of more gathering the nearby school is hired. The planned renovations/refurbishments are still going on to make the new property suitable to the Charity's needs and objective.

Co-operation with other organisations and bodies (both charitable and non-charitable)

From time to time, the Charity receives from and provides to other Jain and Non-Jain organisations both tangible and non-tangible assistance for the furtherance of its objectives. It also collaborates with other charitable and non-charitable organisations when necessary and in accordance with its objectives.

The Charity actively engages with other organisations to advise and promote training, education, research and academic excellence of Jainism.

Independent examiners’ report on the unaudited accounts to the trustees of the Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Digambar Jain Charitable Trust London UK

I report to the trustees of the Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Digambar Jain Charitable Trust London UK (the Charity) on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiners’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report or for the opinion I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

As described in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities in the Trustees’ Report, the Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts and they consider that the charity is exempt under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and exempt under part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Charities Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
To follow the application Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiners’ report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. My 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 examiners’ statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
a. to keep account records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

ACHARYA SHRI VIDYASAGAR DIGAMBAR JAIN CHARITABLE TRUST LONDON UK

A RELIGIOUS CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION

b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting of Charities Applicable to Financial Reporting Standard applicable to UK and Republic of Ireland ((FRS102 effective 01 January 2015 – Charities SORP FRS102); have not been met or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts be reached.
