REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2024

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the year the Charity operated one New Mosque at Gower Street, Bolton. These accounts include income and expenditure and assets and liabilities relating to Gower St, Bolton.

The Trustees are pleased to report a further surplus year, which has enabled them to re-build cash reserves which had been depleted by the cost of building the new Mosque and extension.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees are of the opinion that the running of the new mosque at Gower Street, excluding the depreciation, will be in the region of £90,000 per annum. The recorded retained Surplus of the charity of £1,396,150 includes the construction costs of the new Mosque, and could not be utilised to cover the running costs of the Charity as it is now invested in bricks and mortar. The Trustees feel that it is appropriate to retain approximately 9-12 months of running costs in the Charity’s main bank account and are working to this aim. This policy will be kept under review.

The outstanding Qaraz e Hasana loans will be repaid subject to the need to retain sufficient funds to cover the running costs of the Charity.

ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE MADINA MOSQUE AND MUSLAMIC COMMUNITY CENTRE

In accordance with the engagement letter dated 12 March 2013 and in order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Charities Act 2011, we have compiled the financial statements of the charity which comprise the Income & Expenditure Accounts, Balance Sheets, and the related notes from the accounting records and information and explanations you have given us.

I have examined the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 as set out on the annexed pages which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out below:

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income does not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination; it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

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 a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act 2011 have not been met; or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
