What the accounts disclose
“UDF's annual return submissions for the years 2021 and 2022 were initially submitted on time. However, due to a financial error, the Charity Commission was contacted to rectify this issue. Consequently, the accounts had to be resubmitted, leading to an alteration in the submission date.” — page 9
