Sikh Association Kingston Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity

Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees of Sikh Association Kingston

on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022

We report on the accounts of the Sikh Association Kingston Charity for the year ended 31st March 2022, which are set out on page 3 to 9.

This report is made solely to the Sikh Association Kingston's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 6(4) the Charities Act 2011 ("Act"). My examination has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiner's 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 Association and the Association's trustees as a body for my examination, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of section 6(4) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply and that an independent examinations is required.

It is my responsibility to :

Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken

We conducted our examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a detailed review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements , and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2005), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, we express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity.

We planned and performed our examination so as to satisfy ourselves that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report we obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, report and opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above , 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 to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act or of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2005 have not been met or

2) to which, in my opinion , attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 6 of the 2011 Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commissioners under subsection (7)(b) of that section which are applicable.
