INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE AL-MOROCCAN WOMEN'S PROJECT
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 5 - 11.
This report is made solely to the Trustees of The Al-Moroccan Women's Project, as a body, in accordance with regulations made under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and Charity SORP. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and Charity's trustees for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the statement I have given below.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and independent examiner
As charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of the company law) and for the purposes of charity law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with requirements of the companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act"), the Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and under Part 16 of the 2006 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out:-
-
a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
b) follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
c) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity, and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the reports limited to those matters set out in the statement on the next page.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE AL-MOROCCAN WOMEN'S PROJECT
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and section 386 of the Company Act 2006; and
-
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act and of section 396 of the 2006 Act;
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation.
These accounts have been prepared on an accrual basis and include income and expenditure as they are earned or incurred, rather than as cash received or paid. Reference to the "Charities SORP" refers to the Charities SORP (FRS 102): 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. 2nd edition effective 1 January 2019, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
1a. Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1b. Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is possible that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1c. Government grants
Government grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
1d. Fund accounting
Unrestricted Funds are receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. Restricted Funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor. Designated Funds are unrestricted funds but earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1e. Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of trhe Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
1f. Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at amount prepaid.
1g. Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and 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.
1h. Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1i. Financial Instruments
The Charity 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1j. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Charity does not currently have any significant accounting estimates or areas of judgements.
1k. Tangible Fixed Assets
Equipment and other tangible fixed assets are capitalised when the cost is £500 or more
