## **Financial review** 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows The trustees consider the surplus achieved on its activities to be satisfactory. 

The Statement of Financial Activities shows net incoming resources of £292,755 for the year and reserves of £2,420,572 

During 2021, the Gurudwara saw significant movement in its income and expenditure. The increase is an initiative to fund raise and complete the renovation projects undertaken. 

The constitution of the charity remains an important part of our management structure. Compliance to the constitution and to the principles of Sikhism remains priority. 

During 2021 the foot flow of congregation was returning from Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns. The support and commitment from the community, the bank and from the trustees, has been tremendous enabling us to get through 2021 without affecting our financial position. 

## **Reserve policy** 

The level of reserves that the charity holds varies depending on any ongoing projects. The Trustees’ regularly assess the major cash flow risks to which the charity is exposed, and ensure adequate funds are in place to meet those exposures. 

The Trustees’ feel that the level of reserves held at the 31 December 2021 is adequate to support the continuation of the charity’s current operations.” 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Trustees are looking forward to the opening of the 2nd Floor Darbar (Worship Hall). This will give us the ability to conduct multiple function together. Plans are being drafted to build and install a ramp driveway linking the main carpark and back carparks together.

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of , which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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 financial statements to be reached.

The the charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The the charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees' have a reasonable expectation that the the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees' in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income received by the way of grants is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable, and matched to specific time periods or expenditure where appropriate. 

Income from charitable activities which include hall/room hire and the provision of other charitable services are included when earned and receivable.
