Masjid E Ouba

We use the buildings to facilitate more people and provide further education to the youth of today. We are using the new facilities for praying and other community activities since 2017/2018 and it has the expected facilities for disadvantaged groups. Such as; the elderly, youth, and the disabled.

. The Madrassa Education has been reviewed which has resulted in better education standards for both boys and girls. We teach Nazira, Quran, Hifz, Islamic and Arabic study. We have 200 regular students aged 5 - 18 yrs. We have a waiting list of students who are served and admitted on first come, first served basis.

Our Imam reads verses from the Holy Quran on every Sunday after Zuhr Prayer for an hour and then explains the text in detail. This programme is very successful with people from all ages particularly in the question and answer session after the talk. Prominent scholars have often visited our Mosque to give lectures which have attracted a number of youngsters to come to the Mosque.

We have a Nikkah (marriage) register with our imam. We are grateful to all those who have contributed generously.

Masjid library - key objectives

Funeral Service

Key objectives

Opinion

We have audited the accounts of AL-HASSAN EDUCATION CENTRE for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet and notes to the accounts, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members 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 company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In our opinion the accounts:

Basis of 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 accounts section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out below, 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.

In accordance with the exemption provided by FRC's Ethical Standard - Provisions Available for Audits of Small Entities, we have prepared and submitted the company’s returns to the tax authorities and assisted with the preparation of the accounts.

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:

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the report and accounts, other than the accounts and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the accounts 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 accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the accounts 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 accounts 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

AL-HASSAN EDUCATION CENTRE Independent auditor's report to the members of AL-HASSAN EDUCATION CENTRE

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the accounts, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts 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 accounts.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including

fraud.

Based on our understanding of the company and its industry, we identified the main risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations applicable such as Company Law.

We then considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, which include Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Tax, Payroll Tax and VAT (sales tax). We also considered and evaluated the company's management incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of over riding of internal controls. We determined that the principal risks for the company was relating to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue, misuse of cash, expenditure and bias in accounting estimates. The audit procedures performed by the audit team were as follows :

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the accounts is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

AL-HASSAN EDUCATION CENTRE Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

Voluntary income

The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in the accounts.

Grants and donations

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the period to which they relate, and are split depending on the nature of the incoming resource.

Resources expended

Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they relate on an accruals basis and split depending on the nature of the expenditure incurred.

Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If the charity were to be dissolved or wound up the trustees would pass any net assets to similar organisations and deserving causes.

Going concern

The Charity has sufficient cash at bank as at the year end and has raised further funds since then, which provide adequate resources to finance committed delivery programmes, along with the day to day operations. The trustees monitor the expenditure level and adjust development expenditure to ensure that expenditure is only incurred when sufficient funds are available to cover payments as they fall due. On this basis, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of twelve months after the date on which this report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.

Purposes of Unrestricted/ Restricted Funds

Delivering mental health and other services to local community. The activities are described in the Trustees Report. Full analysis of income and expenditure is available on the last page.

AL-HASSAN EDUCATION CENTRE Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold buildings and land These are not being depreciated because their market value is greater than cost/ NRV Plant, equipment, furniture and machinery 10% reducing balance Motor vehicles 20% reducing balance

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Leased assets

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
