REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TOTHE TRUSTEES OF MUSLIM GLOBAL REUEF Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Muslim Global Relief {the 'charitsble companl) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activrties, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statemen15, 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 (Unrted Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements.. give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable companvs affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of it8 incoming resources and application ol 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 wrth the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for oplnlon We conducted our audit in accordance with Intemational Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 responsibilrties 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 condilions that. individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least Iwelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilrties and the responsibilrties of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other Infomiatlon 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 Report of the Independent Audilors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and. excepl to the extent oiherwise 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 responsibilty is to read the other infomation 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 misslatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other infomiation. we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Page 16
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MUSLIM GLOBAL RELIEF Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charits'es (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion., Ihe information given in the trustees Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements., or the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records., or the financial statements are not in agreement wrth the accounting records and returns., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. ResponslbllStles of trustees A5 explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial stalements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees detemiine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements thal are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to conlinue 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of Ihe financial statements We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Acl 2011 and report in accordance wrth the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee Ihat an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will afvrfays detect a material misstatement when rt exists. Misslatemenls 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 e>rtent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follovts.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulalions., we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector. we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of Ihe company. including the Companies Act 2006, taxalion legislation and dala protection, anti-bribery, employment and health and safety legislation,. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identrfied above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and identified laws and regulations were communicated N*ithin the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non<ompliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misststement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: making enquities of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud., and Page 17
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MUSLIM GLOBAL RELIEF considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we.. performed analylical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships., tested journal entries to identfy unusual transactions,. assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in detennining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias,. and investigated the rational8 behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance wrth lalvs and regulations, we designed procedures which included. but were nol limited lo.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; enquiring of management as lo actual and potential litigation and claims., and reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Heafth and Salety Exacutive, and the company's legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required lo identify non-compliance with laws and regulaltons to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to delect than those thal arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description lorms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Use of our report This report is made solely to Ihe charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charrties (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
