Financial review
The Charity had a very encouraging year and a milestone for the community members. Income for the year ended 30 September 2023 amounted to £78,847 (2022: £87,852). The main driver behind the net income was as a result of our generous donors which led to the Charity being able to purchase and enhance its own property. The net assets of the Charity amounted to £897,835 (2022: £873,981).
Reserves
Unrestricted reserves for the year ending 30 September 2023 amounted to £897,835 (2022: £873,981).
The Trustees consider the key measure of sustainability for the Charity to be current and future liquidity cover, rather than the surplus or deficit accounting position. As a consequence, the Trustees have set appropriate reserves policies relating to liquidity based on the relationship between readily realisable assets, on-going level of donations received and the cash requirements associated with sustaining the Charity’s operations for a period.
In establishing this policy, the Trustees conducts an annual review of the level of unrestricted reserves in the general fund by considering risks associated with the various income streams, expenditure plans and balance sheet items. This enables an estimate to be made of the level of reserves that are sufficient to allow time for re-organisation in the event of a downturn in income or asset values; to protect ongoing work schedules and to allow the Charity to meet is objectives.
The Trustees review the Charity’s reserves policy annually and are satisfied with the level of cash reserves at the year end and are confident that the cash reserves will increase in subsequent years.
Structure, governance and management
The directors of the charitable company are also the Charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the Company’s Articles.
Nature of governing document
The Charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee without share capital, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Srinivasa Retreat Ltd Company no: 12440779 and Charity no: 1190540
I report on the financial statements of the above charity (a company limited by guarantee) for the year ended 30 September 2023, which comprise the statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes 1- 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. Where the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 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 examiner’s statement
(1) In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act (2006); or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or
-
The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
(2) 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.
