THE RAJASTHAN PUBLIC TRUST ACT, 1959

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.
