## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

**Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

## **1. Introduction** 

The trustees present their report along with the consolidated financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary for the year ended 30 November 2020. The financial statements have been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s Trust Deed. 

Amanat Charity Trust is a charity registered with the Charity Commission under registration number 1000851, and its working name is Ummah Welfare Trust. 

## **2. Mission Statement** 

To sustainably support lives and livelihood of the most desperate communities around the world with education, infrastructure and relief. 

## **Vision** 

"To preserve life and dignity with compassion and mercy” 

The charity is committed to its unique 100% donations policy – ensuring that not a single penny from donations is spent for administrative purposes. 

## **3. Activities** 

The activities currently carried out for the public benefit by the charity can be broadly categorised into the following groups of programmes: 

- Providing emergency relief, such as food and medical aid, to victims of conflict and natural disasters. 

- Providing clean potable water by constructing tube wells and hand pumps and trucking water to needy areas. 

- Constructing homes, orphanages and schools. 

- Establishing medical and rehabilitation clinics, especially for the treatment of women and children. 

- Implementing income generation projects to help beneficiaries break their dependence on hand-outs. 

In setting our programme each year we have regard to both the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, and prevention and relief of poverty and suffering for the public benefit. The trustees always ensure that the programmes we undertake are in line with our charitable objects and aims. 

Our ambitious aim is to eradicate poverty and suffering in the areas where we work. 

## **4. How we work** 

The charity delivers its charitable aims in two ways: 

- Through direct delivery in areas where we have our own staff; and 

- Through grant making, chiefly using our partner organisations. 

Work carried out by the partner organisations is especially useful where the charity has no established infrastructure for managing staff and operations or where it provides a more economical approach than using our own staff. 

Using both partner organisations and our own local staff helps utilise local knowledge effectively and assists in our relief and development work. During the year, £36.1 million of our programmes were delivered in partnership with a combination of both international and local organisations.

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

**Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

Longer term solutions require that we address the underlying social and economic circumstances across the areas where we work. Economic inequality and conflicts are a continuing source of human suffering throughout the world and through our work we address this inequality and so transform the lives of families and communities. We see the practical expression of our charitable aims as to ensure all people in the areas we are working, enjoy a minimum standard of nutrition, access to shelter, safe drinking water, sanitation and healthcare and the opportunity for good education and to have the life skills to earn a secure livelihood. 

We decide on where we work, taking into account the following factors: 

- Incidence of natural disasters and conflicts; 

- Data on relative levels of poverty for countries where we work; 

- Honouring our existing commitments to prevent or relieve poverty and suffering; 

- Information from partners about areas of deprivation and need; 

- Availability of local partners with their willingness and capabilities to work with us; and 

- The degree of stability, safety and security in the area of operation. 

We have an ethical stance where we seek to provide our programmes without detriment to the local economy or community. To this end where beneficial we seek to locally source labour, materials and supplies in order to ensure that the benefits of our work are maximised across the economy. This approach underpins local businesses, local employment prospects and the viability of the local community. 

Over the year we have worked directly with around 3.5 million poor and disadvantaged beneficiaries in 26 different countries and indirectly we believe our work to support sustainable solutions in the communities has enhanced the lives of many more. We regard our plans as indicators and not absolute targets because the key is to resource the right programmes. 

As a large charity with so many programmes inevitably this report is a summary and for examples of the effect we have had on rescuing individuals and families from poverty and suffering view our web site **www.uwt.org** 

## **5. Voluntary help and gifts in kind** 

The trustees are very grateful to the hundreds of volunteers who helped the charity in carrying out fundraising on their behalf and in particular those who give regular support to our charity shops and recycling work. The public has been very generous in providing gifts in kind, particularly donations of clothing for resale through our shops and clothing banks.  Volunteers also provide assistance with events, giving time and supplies to make them a success. Consequently, their contributions go a long way towards the charity’s commitment to its 100% Donations Policy. 

## **6. What we did: Activities, Achievements, Performance** 

The charity continues to receive high levels of support and charity from the general public as shown by the significant levels of donations received. The charity continued its planned deficit (more expenditure than income) third year in a row, which is a part of the trustees’ strategy to reduce the levels of reserves, the charity carries. Over the next three years the intention is to ensure that increases in charitable expenditure are greater than the income received over the same period, with an expectation for the reserves to be at £5m or less. 

Hence the focus of the charity for this year has again been to plan and develop new projects so that this can be achieved without compromising the standards of the accountability and feedback. To that extent the charity continues to carry out humanitarian and development work in disaster and conflict hit areas of the world, resulting in greater provision of emergency aid to the poverty-stricken peoples of those areas. The resources expended this year were £48.2m, compared to £39.9m last year. 

The charity continues to focus on rehabilitation and education projects as it seeks to help those affected to get back on their feet.

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

## **Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

This has been achieved through the themes of the humanitarian and development aid programmes. 

Under these themes the charity has longer term and relief projects in the following areas: 

- Family Welfare 

- Food/Non-Food items Distribution (NFI) 

- Shelter 

- Health Care 

- • Education 

- Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) 

- Food Security and Livelihood 

The charity has built on its existing partnerships to create strong working relationships with local organisations in different parts of the world to work hand in hand in distributing the aid. It is also actively looking to increase its networks of partner organisations throughout the world to enable it to increase its reach into areas of the world which are hard and difficult to work in and get to but where the need is most dire. 

A note must be made of the hard work of those Trustees, volunteers and staff members who have been personally involved in carrying out distribution of the aid in all parts of the world.  They spent their own time overseas in ensuring that the aid reached places where it was needed.  The charity is indebted to the service they have provided. 

## **7. Coronavirus (Covid-19) impact** 

At the time of writing the report the issues concerning the impact of Covid19 pandemic continues to impact many lives around the world. In these unprecedented times the charity continued to face difficult operational challenges. The primary challenge for high levels of colleague absence and/or restrictions on their ability to work in the normal office environment were managed efficiently by the charity by regularly reviewing and updating the risk assessments, and implementing measures to mitigate the risks identified in the risk assessments. The trustees have met regularly to manage the charity’s response to the ongoing challenges caused by the pandemic, and the arrangements have been strengthened continually to enable and ensure safe working where practical in its offices and for those who had to work from home and in the field. 

In addition to responding to the challenges faced internally, the charity continued to support programme in the UK and abroad. 

## **8. Financial review** 

During the year the charity raised £40,278,225 (2019: £29,348,134) in direct donations from the general public to carry out the programmes mentioned above. During the year £47,762,893 (2019:£ 36,479,366) was used on aid programmes. 

The charity continues to work closely with a number of partner organisations in providing aid to the needy and, of the above expenditure, £36,118,040 (2019: £19,320,993) was spent with these partner organisations (note 7 provides further analysis). 

As shown on page 11, £45,364,169 (2019: £34,130,021) from the restricted funds was expensed for specific projects and £2,789,646 (2019: £2,794,780) from the unrestricted funds was also designated for specific projects via funds transfers. 

A small amount was raised with no restrictions from the charity’s trading activities and has been used in the administration of the charity. The income tax recoverable from Gift Aid, the recycling and the charity shops’ income continue to provide the charity with sufficient funds to carry out its charitable objectives. 

The charity has helped over 3.5 million beneficiaries in the financial year to 2020, which the trustees are very pleased with and the charity’s aim is to create better projects which not only affect large

## **Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

numbers of beneficiaries but which will also be beneficial for the long term and delivered in a sustainable manner. 

Whilst major resources are allocated to meet relief efforts in many countries, the charity continues to focus on its sponsorship programmes. Its orphan sponsorship programmes continued to be popular during the year with a total of 11,929 orphans (2019: 11,382) being cared for by the charity at present. The charity will continue to develop support programmes for orphans which will cater for their social wellbeing and educational needs. 

In addition, the charity has again delivered successful programmes to provide clean water to improve quality of life of thousands of beneficiaries with 5,971 wells and hand pumps built during the year (2019: 6,187). The charity has historically implemented successful income generation projects to create selfsufficiency and reduce the cycle of poverty, and during the year nearly 8,300 (4,148 in 2019) beneficiaries received such help from the charity. The charity remains committed to continue to increase and fund such projects and is in the process of evaluation new geographical projects to help more beneficiaries. 

The charity will continue to increase its education projects as the lack of access to education reduces opportunities significantly and education is the most effective way to address the poverty crisis. In the last year over 336,756 (309,735 in 2019) people benefited from the charity’s education related programmes. Again, the challenge for the charity is to directly address the underlying causes of poverty and tackle them in the most effective, ethical and efficient way possible, and consequently this year the charity has increased the support programmes for poor teachers in more countries. 

During the year there has been a small increase in the relative expenditure on administration costs. This was due to increase in additional resources required to deliver the increased operational activities. As the charity expands, it has resulted in an increase in the number of employees, expenditure on public relations and advertising, new offices and outlets, rent, telephone and other administrative expenses which the trustees believe are a necessary investment for the future development of the charity and to ensure that the charity is able to continue to deliver efficient services. In 2020 the charity spent £2,616,817 (2019: £2,589,867) on such expense. The administration expenditure represents only 5.6% (2019: 6.6%) of the revenues generated by the charity which relatively remains very low. The Trustees are committed to ensuring that the administrative expenses are kept to a minimum, and is a fundamental cornerstone of the charity’s ethos. 

## **9. Investment policy** 

The overall objectives are to create sufficient income and capital growth to enable the charity to carry out its purposes consistently year by year with due and proper consideration for future needs and the maintenance of, and if possible, enhancement of the value of the invested funds while they are retained. 

Both capital and income may be used at any time for the furtherance of the charity’s aims and therefore the portfolio should be managed on a total return basis. 

## **10. Reserves Policy** 

It is the intention of the charity to utilise the funds as it receives within a year of receiving them. Reserves are held for long term projects and for responding to emergencies and disasters. 

At 30 November 2020 a large proportion of the reserves were earmarked on for ongoing long-term projects and it should be noted that the projects now being delivered by the charity are longer term, such as the orphan and widows projects, which require reserves to be held over a longer period. 

In 2020 the charity spent over £48.2m in carrying out charitable expenditure. This level of expenditure was achieved with increased validation and verification procedures carried out by the charity to ensure that funds spent on the ground generated value for money for the donors and provided detailed feedback from beneficiaries.

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

## **Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

The trustees’ plan whereby the year on year charitable expenditure will increase, resulting in deficits for the charity, is on track which will reduce the reserves the charity currently holds to the targeted reserves as set by the trustees. 

The unrestricted funds the charity holds are to ensure that it has sufficient reserves to cover the costs of managing and administering the charity for the following year. At the end of each financial year the trustees critically appraise this level and transfer any excess to where it is most needed in terms of aid. 

## **11. Grant making policy** 

The trustees consider grant making an effective means of delivering aid using local partners. Local partners have access to facilities, expertise, staff or other resources, in the field and they may be better placed to deliver aid speedily and effectively. 

Applications for grants are not invited. Instead trustees actively develop the programmes for the year, identify whether it is most effective to deploy our own staff and resources or whether to seek a local partner for some or all the planned programmes for each geographical locality. Where a local partner is preferable, those organisations active in the target area are reviewed for their track record in the field, financial transparency and operational capability. Those potential partners that meet the criteria are contacted and a dialogue initiated to see if they would act as partners for the charity. Conditional grants are then awarded where applicable local partnerships are established. Our grant making policy is reviewed each year to align our grants with our priorities and programmes activities for the year. 

## **12. Plans for the Future** 

Overall the charity will continue to meet its stated objectives over the next few years and will increase its focus on key development projects, and as such will continue to focus its attention on infrastructure, education and relief related projects and programmes where needed most. Given the scale of poverty and hardship in the areas of charity’s operation, the Trustees have decided to increase the aid and development operations over the coming years with ultimate aim to have minimum level of reserves in the coming years. 

## **13. Risk Management** 

All significant activities undertaken are subject to a risk review as part of the initial activity assessment and implementation. Major risks are identified and ranked in terms of their potential impact and likelihood. 

- Major risks, for this purpose, are those that may have a significant effect on: • Operational performance, including risks to our personnel and volunteers; 

   - Financial sustainability, including stability and security of funds; 

   - Achievement of our aims and objectives; or 

   - Meeting the expectations of our beneficiaries and/or supporters 

The trustees review these risks on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the risks identified. Where appropriate, risks are covered by insurance. The following framework is central to ensuring adequate risk assurance: 

- Regular monitoring of major risks and development of action plans; 

- Embedding risk identification and assessment within operating procedures; 

- A clear structure of delegated authority and control; 

- Review of key systems and procedures through internal arrangements; 

- Income and profit targets for our trading and fundraising activities; 

- Maintaining reserves in line with set policies; and 

- Regular summary reports on risk management to the Trustees Board. 

We have again continued to pay particular attention during the year to increasing the coverage of internal audit and to addressing the heightened risks to our staff and partners operating in areas of unrest. We are therefore continuing to review our training programme for our workers going overseas

and continue to monitor all programmes in conflict zones to assess whether local staff would be more appropriate for certain programmes. In assessing risk our trustees recognise that some areas of our work require the acceptance and management of risk if our key objectives are to be achieved. The charity has continued to apply robust due diligence policy and use of World Check tool to assess against suitability of its personnel and partners. The World Check has been upgraded to an advanced version to help increase the level of due diligence.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

## **Report of the independent auditors to the trustees of Amanat Charity Trust** 

## **Opinion on financial statements** 

We have audited the financial statements of Amanat Charity Trust for the year ended 30 November 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the charity's affairs as at 30 November 2020, 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, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 

## **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** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

## **Report of the independent auditors to the trustees of Amanat Charity Trust** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Annual Report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; 

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

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purpose of our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, 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 they 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. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

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. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: [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 section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

## **1. Accounting polices** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a. Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the charity's accounting policies (see accounting policies **1t** ). 

## **b. Going concern** 

The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern. 

We have adequate resources and are well placed to manage the business risks. Our planning process, including financial projections, has taken into consideration the current economic climate and its potential impact on the various sources of income and planned expenditure. We have a reasonable expectation that we have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. We believe that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity’s ability to continue. 

## **c. Consolidation and group financial statements** 

Amanat Charity Trust is a charitable Trust. Its main activities are delivering emergency aid to parts of the world affected by natural or unnatural disasters and setting up various development projects that help empower people in need. 

The financial statements consolidate those of Amanat charity Trust and its subsidiaries made up to 30 November 2020 on a line-by-line basis, in accordance with current legislation. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the Trust has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. Intragroup sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation. 

The Charity has not presented its own net movement in funds and related notes. The Charity’s deficit for the year was £1,648,829 (2019: £2,290,670).

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

## **1. Accounting polices (Continued)** 

## **d. Fund accounting** 

Amanat Charity Trust has various types of funds for which it is responsible, and which require separate disclosure. 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectivities of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.  The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **e. Income and endowments** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and there is certainty of receipt. 

Donations and legacies: This comprises all incoming resources from donations and gifts collected directly or by volunteers and income from fundraising events during the year. Gift Aid tax recoverable under the Gift Aid Scheme is recognised where there is an entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has been or will be made, such income is included in the debtors’ amount if still not received by the year end. 

Activities for generating funds: This comprises income generated from the trading activities of its subsidiaries and income derived from the charity shops and recycling clothes are recognised as earned (that is, as the goods or services are provided). 

Investment income: This comprises income generated by cash on deposits held by the charity. Profit on funds held on deposit is included in the SOFA when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably; this is normally upon notification of the profit paid or payable by the bank. 

The value of services provided by volunteers is difficult to put a monetary value on and therefore has not been included in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

## **f. Gifts in kind** 

Gifts in Kind for which the Charity accepts full responsibility for distribution, are included in income at their approximate market value when it is distributed and under expenditure on charitable activities at the same value and time. 

## **g. Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. 

Costs of raising funds: This comprises costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, costs of fundraising events and campaigns including marketing and their associated support costs and fundraising trading. The fundraising trading cost comprises the group’s trading activities, namely the costs associated with the trading activities of its subsidiaries.

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

## **1. Accounting polices** _**(Continued)**_ 

## **g. Expenditure (Continued)** 

Charitable activities: Costs associated with the provision of emergency relief, development and longer term rehabilitation programmes as elaborated on in the Trustees’ Report section, ‘Activities, achievements and performance.’ These include both direct charitable expenditure, grants payable and support costs relating to these activities. Grants payable to other organisations for relief projects are included in the SOFA when approved by the trustees and agreed with the other organisation. 

Support costs: Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs for a single activity are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, Support costs that represent the support functions of management, finance, human resources, IT and support departments attributable to the management of the Charity's assets, are allocated in proportion to the type of charitable activity during the period. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 8. 

Governance costs: are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic manaqement of the charity's activities. Governance support costs are allocated on the basis of support activities provided on clearly interpreted governance matters. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **h. Operating Leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease 

## **i. Foreign Currency** 

Transactions in foreign currency are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the year-end. All exchange differences are recognised through the statement of financial activities. 

## **j. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Individual items of fixed assets are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Tangible fixed assets are stated at historic purchase cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets, less their residual values, over their expected useful lives. The expected useful lives of the assets to the charity are reassessed periodically in the light of experience. The depreciation rates in use are as follows: 

Freehold & Leasehold Property 2%  Straight line Leasehold Property Improvements over  the shorter of the useful economic Plant and machinery 15% Reducing balance Motor Vehicles 25% Reducing balance Computer equipment 33% Straight line Recycling Banks 20% Straight line 

## **k. Intangible assets** 

Intangible assets are capitalised at cost and amortised over their estimated useful economic life. 

Internally developed software up to 5 years

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

## **1. Accounting polices** _**(Continued)**_ 

## **l. Investment property** 

Investment property is property held for rental, capital growth or both, excluding those occupied by the Group or the Parent charity. Investment property comprises freehold land. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties. 

Initial measurement is at cost inclusive of transaction cost. It is subsequently carried at fair value in the balance sheet or at the trustees' best estimate of market value. Fair value best represents a true and fair view of the value of these assets to the charity and can be determined by independent professional valuers based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition. 

Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the statement of financial activities based on the market value at the year end. Acquisitions are recognised on unconditional exchange of control. Investment properties are derecognised on disposal. 

## **m. Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value 

Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sale proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the statement of financial activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## **n. Stocks** 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

## **o. Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due and prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid, net of any trade discounts due. 

## **p. Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **q. Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **r. Financial instruments** 

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **s. Pension costs** 

The charity operates a group personal pension scheme, which effectively means that all employees who join the scheme have their own pension plan.

## **AMANAT CHARITY TRUST** 

## **Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 November 2020** 

## **t. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates. The items where these judgments and estimates have been made include: 

## Donated goods 

Donated goods for sale in the shops and recycling are measured at fair value when sold. Estimating the fair value of donated goods for resale is considered impractical because of the volume of low value items received, the absence of detailed stock control systems and market factors.
