## Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
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 the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the year end. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required:
- to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- to make judgements that are reasonable and prudent;
- to state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- to prepare the financial statements on the on-going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping 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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
In respect of the independent examination, the trustees have a responsibility to ensure that they take all steps necessary in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ANAND MILAN ELDERLY CENTRE (AMEC) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
## Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees on the Financial Statements
I, Devshi Chothani, report on the Financial Statements of the charity for the year ended 30 Sept 2024 as set out on pages 6 and 7 together with the notes on pages 8 to 10.
## Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as the Independent Examiner:
- a) to examine the Financial Statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act);
- c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of the Independent Examiner’s 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 Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the Financial Statements.
## Independent Examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- b) to prepare Financial Statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Financial Statements to be reached.
