REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ANJUMAN-E-HAMIDI (MANCHESTER)
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on the pages 8 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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 and that an independent examination is needed.
-
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)(a) of the Charities Act 2011: and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ 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 the seeking of 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 report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners’ statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
-
Which give me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with S.130 of the Charities Act 2011: and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to 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.
