Hi Shaikh,

Yes, under The Rajasthan Public Trust Act, 1959, there is a prescribed format for the Audit Report that the auditor needs to submit to the Assistant Charity Commissioner.

Key points:

The audit report should comply with the requirements laid down under Section 35 of the Act.
It must provide details of the receipts and payments, income and expenditure, and the assets and liabilities of the Trust.
The auditor’s report should certify the correctness of accounts and verify that the funds have been applied according to the objectives of the trust.
The report usually includes observations on compliance with the provisions of the Act.

While the Act itself doesn’t prescribe a very rigid standardized format, the Rajasthan Charity Commissionerate generally provides a guideline or proforma to be followed, often available on their official website or through their office.
