## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Gurdwara Guru Granth Sahib Sikh Sabha** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Gurdwara Guru Granth Sahib Sikh Sabha (the "charity") for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including Income and Expenditure Account), Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

In our opinion the financial statements꞉ 

give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for Opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions Relating to Going Concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other Information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion꞉ 

the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or 

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 2—4, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report.(continued) to the Members of Gurdwara Guru Granth Sahib Sikh Sabha 

## Audito1·'s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

We have designed an approach in order to minimise any risk of material misstatement due to any fraud or irregularities. We first obtained an understanding of the regulatory framework in which the company operate, the most significant being the Financial Reporting Standard 102, with special regard to the charities SORP, and the UK wide employment legislation. 

Having determined the relevant regulatory framework, we performed and documented a risk assessment of the business, and based on this we designed audit procedures intended to detect and fraud, irregularities or non-complianceaffecting the financial statements in a material way. 

As part of the audit procedures, we made enquiries of management and those charged with governance. We have also, where possible andappropriate, verified the information provided with third parties, specifically the bank and the payroll agents. 

We considered the risk of fraud through management override of controls, in order to mitigate the risks posed by this we have assessed all major transactions and sampled a cross section of income and expenses. We have not for the purpose of this audit placed reliance on the control environment when considering sample sizes, however we have assessed the controls in place in order to provide additional assurance against management override. 

We have mitigated the risks of revenue recognition by again confirming controls are in place as regards the donations received and by performing comprehensive sampling of received income. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting CoW1cil's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## Use Of Our Report 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters that we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by Jaw, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 


## 2 December 2025 

Ballantyne & Company Limited is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.

Transfers between funds refer to the reallocation of donations that were originally given without a specified purpose by the donors. These donations are initially allocated to the General Fund. As operational and maintenance needs arise within the Gurdwara, funds are reallocated from the General Fund to other specific areas to cover associated costs. This process ensures that resources are used effectively to support the ongoing functions and upkeep of the Gurdwara. 

## **General Fund** 

This fund is for the day today running of the organization 

## **Building Fund** 

This fund was created to raise funds for the construction and maintenance of the Gurdwara Building. 

## 19. **Transactions with Trustees** 

None of the trustees received any remuneration or any other benefits from an employment with the charity or a related entity during the current or previous year. 

No trustee expenses have been incurred. 

## 20. **Related Party Disclosures** 

There have been no related party transactions in the reporting period that require disclosure.
