Related Charities
The charity is a member of the NKT-IKBU which is an organisation made up of many centre around the world with the same objects and share the same spiritual lineage as well as the same Educational Programmes. They are all independent charities linked by their objects and there is no financial dependency although funds may pass between centres to fulfil aims and objectives.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objects
The object of the Charity is to promote the Buddhist faith, principally through the teaching study, practice and the observance of moral discipline with the Buddhist tradition of Je Tsongkhapa through the three New Kadampa Tradition Educational Programmes.
The Charity aims to provide tranquillity to enable students to study, practice and observe the moral disciplines as set out in the objects. This has been achieved so far by establishing the Madhyamaka Centre and teaching meditation to Buddhists and non-Buddhists to enable then to maintain peaceful states of mind. A spiritual education is provided to help people improve the quality of their lives and relationships with others.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Madhyamaka KMC continued to provide a wide range of public services to the surrounding area and further afield during 2021. Meditation Classes in local towns continued to be popular, as did weekend meditation courses and retreats at the KMC. The World Peace Café and Wolds Retreat Bed and Breakfast continued to expand, develop and increase in popularity, and the grounds were frequented by many visitors as a relaxing place of rest and reflection. Madhyamaka also continued to be popular with other Kadampa Buddhist Centres who visit on weekend retreats. Our leasehold commercial property 24 Gillygate, York is still running as a shop and meditation centre as a branch of Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre.
The Centre continued to be reliant on volunteers from the wider community and local towns, who are regularly involved on areas of the Centre such as the Gift Shop, World Peace Café and gardens.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funding Sources
Principally funds are received from running courses and providing accommodation at the Centre, donations receivable, operating the gift shop, B&B and World Peace Café and for running courses at branches together with other fundraising events.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The trustees (who are also directors of Madhyamaka KMC for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report 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 of that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and the apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charity’s SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable UK 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 appropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible of keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (Continued…) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued…)
Guidelines for the operation of its bank accounts are set out in an internal guidance manual called ‘ A Money Handbook’. Accordingly, all charity income is deposited into the designated ITP bank account maintained by the charity. A separate ‘ Daily Running Account’ is maintained to fund the daily running of the charity, with a balance of no more that £25,000, drawn from the ITP account as necessary.
The ITP account is reviewed at least monthly to ensure that there is a minimum of £25,000 available to replenish the funds in the Daily Running Account. The trustees are of the opinion that this is a comfortable level of free reserves in order to maintain the basic operation of the charity and to provide some surety against adverse financial events, such as unbudgeted expenditure to failure to achieve income targets. This level is to be reviewed annually by the trustees.
The trustees 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. Major financial risks have been reviewed and systems and procedures established to manage these risks.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ACA which is one of the listed bodies.

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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 methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
DONATIONS AND GRANTS
Donations are recognised in the accounts when it is known that they will be received. Donated assets for use by the charity are included at value where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. The value of services provided by volunteers is not quantified and is not included in the accounts. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Grants are recognised in the accounts when it is known that they will be received.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
CHARITABLE TRADING
The charity charges for providing courses and accommodation for students to attend teachings, study, practice and observe the moral discipline of Buddhism as well as providing amenities at the centre such as the World Peace Cafe and shop. All of these are directly associated with the objects of the charity and are therefore treated as charitable trading.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
TAXATION
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Restricted funds are funds that have been donated or raised for a specific purpose imposed by the donor or by the way in which the funds have been raised. These funds must be expended in accordance with the restriction when raised and each fund is accounted for separately to ensure this happens.
Unrestricted funds are funds donated or raised with no specific restriction and are to be used at the discretion of the trustees. Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees from the unrestricted general funds for specific purposes and the amount to set aside is decided upon by the trustees as the need arises depending upon the financial activities of the charity.
