PRESTON HANFI SUNNI MUSLIM SOCIETY

(MASJID-E-AQSA)

Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).

The charity is governed by the Trustees in accordance with the charity's constitution (available to any member of the mosque on request).

In order to carry out the day to day running of the Mosque, the Trustees manage all the Charity affairs with support from volunteers within the Community. Whilst this is not what the constitution states, the Trustees currently need to make sure the Charity remains compliant with the necessary laws and regulations. Some elements of the constitution are 'out of date' and this needs addressing at some point in the future. In the meantime, the priority for the Trustees is to remain compliant in all known and required aspects.

Volunteers help with various duties, including but not limited to:

1 - Opening / Closing of the premises

2 - General maintenance and cleaning

3 - Admin and accounts

4 - Madrassah management

5 - Other duties as and when requested

The current operating model will remain in place until such time that an Executive Committee is formed and includes the required capabilities to manage the Charity affairs on a day to day basis.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Preston Hanfi Sunni Muslim Society (Masjid-E-Aqsa)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Preston Hanfi Sunni Muslim Society (Masjid-E-Aqsa)

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Preston Hanfi Sunni Muslim Society (Masjid-E-Aqsa) (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
