## **Trustees' Report**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's Trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and “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 from 1 January 2015).
## **Objectives and activities**
The Trustees hold the Trust Fund and its income upon trust to apply them for the religious and charitable purpose, particularly to administer, manage and organize the affairs of the Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat of London as per the “12 Umoor Programme” introduced by the 53rd al-Dai al Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS and particularly for the following purposes.
- To advance and propagate education and learning, including the administration and organisation of
- • religious and temporal affairs, of the Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat of London and to practise and observe Islamic religion in conformity with al-Quran, Islamic Shariat and the Fatimi philosophy, culture and traditions, all as interpreted by al-Dai al-Mutlaq.
- To advance education and learning including, but not limited to, supporting religious schools, secular
- educational institutions and scholastic prizes and promoting literature and languages, especially the Arabic language and Lisan al-Dawat.
- The relief of need, hardship and distress.
- The provision and assistance in the provision of facilities for the recreation and other leisure time
- • occupations of the beneficiaries particularly for women and young people in the interests of social welfare and so that their condition of life may be improved.
- To advance Islam and to provide other charitable relief in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed.
The policy of the Trust continues to be to seek support and provide for the aims as stated.
The Trust organises events where the teaching of Islam and the nature of the Islamic faith is shared with nonMuslims.
The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives in setting the grant making policy for the year.
The Trust has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit for the advancement of religious and charitable purposes of the Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat of London in particular and the community at large. Grants are made at the discretion of the Trustees in respect of any application from individuals or institutions that may apply for assistance within the objects of the Trust. Formal applications are required setting out the reasons for the grant. The policy of the Trustees is to make large single grants rather than many smaller ones.
## **Achievements and performance**
The main sources of income of the Trust are the regular contributions from the community supplemented by other donations from minor sources and connected charities.
The Achievements and performance of the Trust are highlighted as per “12 Umoor Programme classified into 12 main categories consisting the following:

## **5. Ummor Mawarid Bashariyah - Human Resources**

## **10. Umoor Iqtesadiyah - Finance and Business Development**
Page 4
## **Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
The Trust encourages business start up and development through counselling, skills development and the provision of shariah compliant business loans; several loans were made to businesses to support this objective. In order to be able to provide shariah compliant loans to community members for non-business needs, such as home improvements, education and travel for pilgrimage, advancement was made with FCA registration in this respect.
## **11. Umoor Amlaak - Properties**
The Trustee ensured that the maintainence of properties, legal documentation and development is carried out regularly. The Trust provides necessary funds to provide assistance to the Husaini Masjid and Mohammedi Park Management Trust for the maintenance and upkeep of the Masjid built for the community. This year saw the beginning of a three to four year fundraising exercise called The Capital Project. The money raised is entirely for repairs and renovations to the masjid building. This year saw the installation of additional disabled toilets, renovation of the windows, refurbishment of the locker areas, refurbishment of the serving areas of the kitchen and a new ghusul room.
## **12. Umoor Sehhat - Health and Hygiene Activity**
The Trustee ensured that all aspects of health, cleanliness, environment and sports are maintained for all community members. The Trusts regulary organises Medical Camps, Health Awareness Programmes and sports tournaments.
## **Financial review**
The Statement of Financial Activities on page 14 shows the incoming and outgoing resources for the year.
The Trust's income increased in the year with total income of £4,434,802 (2023: £2,332,574). Regular contributions offered by the Jamaat community including gift aid increased by £46,795 to £1,234,335. Furthermore income from other charitable activities increased from £1,132,712 to £3,188,455. The increase is due to two areas: firstly, donations received from Dawat-e-Hadiyah Trust amounting to £1.8m specifically for the welfare of community members including a corpus from which business loans can be granted. Secondly, donations received for The Capital Projects amounted to £472,143 which was donated entirely to the charitable trust which carries out the management and refurbishment of the mosque.
After allowing for resources expended on charitable activities, the surplus for the year was £2,147,684 (2023: £516,394).
The balance sheet on page 15 shows the financial position of the Trust at 31 December 2024.
At the year end, total net assets were £4,530,923 compared with £2,383,239 for the previous year.
## **Reserves policy**
The reserves policy is to hold funds to enable the Trust to carry out its operations and at an adequate level to meet its objectives. This provides for sufficient funds to be available for all management and administrative costs as well as ensuring adequate funds continue to be available for the costs of the Trust's charitable activities. The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31 December 2024 was £2,629,853 of which £1,354,424 is regarded as free reserves after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets and debtors (property to be gifted £482,180).
The current level of reserves is therefore considered to be appropriate to meet the ongoing overheads of the Trust.
## **Investment policy**
Page 5
## **Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
The Trust deed authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using the funds of the charity. The Trustees also have power to hold funds with bankers as necessary. Due to the tenets of the Dawoodi Bohra faith, interest can neither be received nor paid, and as a result, the Trust is part of a network of other connected charities that operate a programme related investment made in the form of interest free loans (Qardan Hasana) to each other and other third parties for the purposes of furthering the objects of the Trust.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Risk assessment**
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to those risks.
## **Future plans**
The Trustees do not plan for any significant changes to the Trust's activities.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Trust was created on 21 December 1997 by the donation of an initial corpus of £786 by the 52nd Dai al - Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (RA). The Trust Deed to record the creation of the Trust was completed and signed on 29th November 1999 and registered charity status was confirmed by the Charity Commission on 14th December 1999.
Trustees are appointed by the Dai al-Mutlaq for a term of five years or as may be determined by the Dai alMutlaq, and at the expiry date of each such term they retire. At the end of each such term the Dai al-Mutlaq appoints Trustees who may consist of some or all of the retiring Trustees. The Dai al-Mutlaq may appoint additional Trustees at any time during the currency of each term. The person so appointed is a Trustee up to the expiration of the term, so that all Trustees retire simultaneously, provided that at the expiry of the term, the Trustees continue to be Trustees until the Dai al-Mutlaq appoints new Trustees. The Amil Saheb of London is ex-officio a Trustee.
The Trustees named on the legal and administrative information page have served during the year and up to the date of this report.
New Trustees are considered for appointment, taking into account the skill requirements of the Trustee body. The induction process for new Trustees provides them with meetings with the Board of Trustees and with documentation setting out the policies and grant making processes of the Trust, the power and responsibilities of the Trustees and a brief history of the Trust including copy minutes and accounts.

## **Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
Meetings of the Trustees are held regularly at which they agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust. The day to day administration of grants and processing and handling of applications prior to their consideration by the Trustees, together with the administration of expenditure on other charitable activities is delegated to the Secretary and the Treasurer. The activities of the restricted funds are managed by subcommittees who report to the Secretary.
The Trustees consider the board of Trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the Trust in charge of directing, running and controlling the Trust. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year.

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities 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 then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Anjuman-E-Burhani (London) (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
- In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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.
## **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 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**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **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.

## **Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Anjuman-E-Burhani (London) (continued)**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities (set out on page 9), 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 the trustees 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.
## **Auditor 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Page 11
## **Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Anjuman-E-Burhani (London) (continued)**
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following
- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance and performance targets - results of our enquiries of management and the company's financial manager's own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
- any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non- compliance
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud
- the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations - Using analytical procedures to identify any unsual or unexpected relationships.
We remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit. As required by auditing standards and taking into account possible pressures to achieve targets, we performed procedures to address the risk of management override of controls and the risk of making inappropriate accounting entries.
We also performed procedures including identifying journal entries and other adjustments to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documents. These included those posted to unusual accounts.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available 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 trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to trustees in an auditors' 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 and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where possible, donations are accounted for on a receivable basis. However, it is recognised that voluntary donations from individuals cannot be treated in this manner where there is no contractually enforceable right to donations promised. For this reason donations from individuals are normally accounted for on a receipts basis.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## _**Grant provisions**_
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the 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.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £5000 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
## **Asset class**
Plant and machinery
**Depreciation method and rate** over 5 years straight line basis
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

## **Anjuman-E-Burhani (London)**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
