This is The Akshaya Patra Foundation (USA)'s own financial statements, independently audited by the accounting firm KellyVitaleRaffol LLC, which issued an unmodified opinion dated 22 February 2024, read directly rather than relayed by a third party. Its strength is that an independent audit with an unmodified opinion is a real external check on the organization's own reported figures, stronger than an unaudited self-published statement. Its limit is that the audit firm was engaged and paid by the organization itself, the ordinary condition of nonprofit financial audits generally, and it opines on the financial statements' fair presentation rather than on the organization's programmatic claims, so a claim about program outcomes rather than financial figures needs separate sourcing.

Notes
The Akshaya Patra Foundation (USA)'s own financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, independently audited by KellyVitaleRaffol, LLC (Boston, Massachusetts) with an unmodified opinion dated 22 February 2024, downloaded directly and read in full. Note 1 states that in 2023 the India-based parent body, The Akshaya Patra Foundation (TAPF, Bengaluru), provided hot, nutritious meals and grocery kits to more than 2.1 million children daily in over 22,000 government schools across 16 states from 74 centralized and two de-centralized kitchen locations. The US entity itself reported total expenses of 4,986,272 US dollars for 2023, of which 2,659,390 US dollars was granted directly to TAPF. Classed audited-accounts: an independent auditor's unqualified opinion, read directly, disclosing the parent body's operational reach in its own notes rather than an outside audit of the meal count itself.
