Introduction
Introduction to AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMAAT
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is a rapidly growing global revival movement in Islam, founded in 1889, with over tens of millions of members across 214 countries. Its headquarters are in the UK, and it uniquely believes its founder, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, is the Messiah. The community, led by a divinely-guided Caliphate, rejects terrorism and promotes an intellectual "jihad of the pen" to defend " Islam. With the motto Love for All, Hatred for None," it advocates for universal human rights, the separation of mosque and state, and engages in extensive educational, healthcare, and humanitarian efforts worldwide.

Introduction
2024 Annual Report
Introduction to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat
AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMAAT AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE MESSIAH
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat stands out as the - only Islamic organisation that believes the long awaited Messiah has arrived in the form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) (1835-1908) from Qadian. Ahmad (as) asserted that he is the metaphorical second coming of Jesus (as) of Nazareth and the divine guide whose arrival was prophesied by the Prophet Muhammad (saw). The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat holds that God sent Ahmad (as) to, much like Jesus (as), put an end to religious conflicts, denounce violence, and restore morality, justice, and peace. His coming has initiated an extraordinary period of Islamic revival, freeing Islam from extreme beliefs and practices while passionately advocating its true and fundamental teachings. Ahmad (as) also acknowledged the virtuous teachings of great religious leaders and saints, including Zoroaster (as), Abraham (as), Moses (as), Jesus (as), Krishna (as), Buddha (as), Confucius (as), Lao Tzu, and Guru Nanak, illustrating how these teachings harmonise within the one true Islam.
A STAUNCH OPPOSITION TO TERRORISM
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is a prominent Islamic organisation that firmly denounces terrorism. Over a century ago, Ahmad (as) clearly stated that an aggressive “jihad by the sword” has no place in Islam. Instead, he encouraged his followers to participate in a peaceful and “ ” intellectual jihad of the pen to defend their faith.
To fulfil this mission, Ahmad (as) authored more than 80 books, wrote tens of thousands of letters, delivered hundreds of lectures, and engaged in public debates. His thorough and logical defences of Islam challenged traditional Muslim perspectives. In its ongoing mission to revive Islam, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat continues to promote Ahmad’s (as) teachings of moderation and restraint, even in the face of significant opposition from certain factions within the Muslim community.
THE UNIQUE ROLE OF AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMAAT
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is distinct as the only Islamic organisation advocating for a separation of religion and state. Over a century ago, Ahmad (as) instructed his followers to uphold the sanctity of both faith and governance by embodying righteousness and loyalty as citizens. He warned against irrational interpretations of the Qur'anic text and the misapplication of Islamic law, consistently emphasising the importance of ’ protecting the rights of all of God s creations. Today, the organisation continues to promote universal human rights and safeguards for religious and other minorities, and it actively champions the empowerment and education of women. Its members are recognised as some of the most law-abiding, educated, and engaged Muslims globally.

2024 Annual Report
Introduction
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat also stands out as the only Islamic organisation with a central spiritual leader. More than a century ago, Ahmad (as) reminded his followers of God's assurance to preserve the message of Islam through khilafat, the spiritual institution of succession to prophethood. The organisation maintains that only spiritual leadership can uphold the true values of Islam and foster unity among humanity. Since Ahmad's (as) passing in 1908, five spiritual leaders have succeeded him, with the current head, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, residing in the United Kingdom.
Under the guidance of its spiritual successors, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat has established over 16,000 mosques, more than 700 schools, and over 40 hospitals and clinics. It has translated the Holy Qur'an into 78 languages and disseminates the authentic teachings of Islam, promoting - messages of peace and tolerance through a 24 hour satellite television channel (MTA), online platforms (alislam.org), and print media (Islam International Publications). The organisation has also been at the forefront of global disaster relief efforts through its independent charitable organisation, Humanity First.
“He it is Who has raised among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and Wisdom, though before that they were in manifest error; And He will raise him among others of them who have not yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.”
- The Holy Quran (62:3 4)
One of the companions of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) questioned to who this verse relates to, and the Prophet of Islam(peace be upon him) replied while putting his hand on Salman(ra), a Persian man,
“ If faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man from among these would surely find it.” (Bukhari).

Introduction
Introduction to
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (May Allah be his Helper)
His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (Mir-za Mas-roor Ah-mad), is the fifth Khalifa (Caliph) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He was elected to this lifelong role on April 22, 2003, and now serves as the spiritual leader of a global religious community comprising tens of millions of members across more than 214 countries and territories.
PEACE INITIATIVES
As the foremost Muslim leader advocating for peace and interfaith harmony, His Holiness promotes the worship of God Almighty and the service of humanity through his sermons, lectures, books, and personal interactions. He tirelessly champions universal human rights, a just society, and the separation of religion from the state. Since he was elected Khalifa, His Holiness has led a global initiative to communicate the peaceful message of Islam via various print and digital media platforms. Under his guidance, national branches of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community have launched campaigns that reflect the true and peaceful teachings of Islam. Ahmadi Muslims worldwide are actively engaged in grassroots efforts, distributing millions of ‘Peace’ leaflets to both Muslims and non-Muslims, hosting interfaith and peace symposiums, and showcasing exhibitions of The Holy Qur’an to convey its true and noble message. These initiatives have garnered international media attention, demonstrating that Islam promotes peace, loyalty to one’s country of residence, and dedication to humanitarian service.
INAUGURATION OF THE ANNUAL NATIONAL PEACE SYMPOSIUM
In 2004, His Holiness initiated the Annual National Peace Symposium, a gathering that brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to share ideas on fostering peace and harmony. Each year, the Symposium draws a wide array of attendees, including serving ministers, parliamentarians, politicians, religious leaders, and various dignitaries. In 2009, His Holiness also established the annual ‘Ahmadiyya Muslim Prize for the Advancement of Peace,’ an international award recognising individuals or organisations that have shown exceptional dedication and service to peace and humanitarian efforts.
COMMUNICATION WITH AHMADI MUSLIMS
His Holiness receives thousands of letters daily from Ahmadi Muslims around the globe, seeking his guidance and prayers. In addition to responding to each letter, he meets with individual community members every day. Each week, His Holiness delivers a Friday Sermon, addressing the entire Ahmadiyya Muslim Community worldwide. This sermon is broadcast live on MTA
International, an Ahmadi Muslim satellite television station founded in 1992, with translations available in multiple languages. Through his sermons, His Holiness provides counsel on a variety of significant issues affecting the community.

Introduction
Introduction to Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (May Allah be his Helper)
RESPONSE TO PERSECUTION
After his election in 2003, His Holiness was compelled to seek refuge outside of Pakistan, his homeland. The Constitution and Penal Code of Pakistan impose severe restrictions on members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, prohibiting them from practising or associating with Islam, or even identifying as Muslims. Violating these oppressive laws can lead to fines, imprisonment, and in some cases, capital punishment. As a result, these laws hinder His Holiness from carrying out his responsibilities as the Head of the Community, making a return to Pakistan impossible.
Despite the ongoing sectarian persecution faced - by Ahmadi Muslims in various Muslim majority countries, His Holiness firmly prohibits any acts of violence. On May 28, 2010, anti-Ahmadiyya terrorists launched an attack on two mosques belonging to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Lahore, Pakistan, resulting in the martyrdom of 86 Ahmadi Muslims during their Friday prayers, with many others injured. In the face of this horrific and premeditated crime against humanity, His Holiness urged Ahmadi Muslims around the world to respond solely through prayer and entirely peaceful means.
PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY
His Holiness was born on September 15, 1950, in Rabwah, Pakistan, to the late Mirza Mansoor Ahmad and the late Nasira Begum Ahmad. After earning his Master’s Degree in Agricultural Economics in 1977 from the Agriculture University in Faisalabad, Pakistan, he dedicated his life to serving Islam.
From 1977 to 1985, His Holiness worked in Ghana, where he was involved in various social, educational, and agricultural development projects. Notably, he achieved the historic feat of successfully growing wheat on Ghanaian soil for the first time.
Upon returning to Pakistan in 1985, His Holiness held several senior administrative positions within the Community over the next 18 years, including the role of Chief Executive of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Pakistan from 1997 until he was elected Khalifa.
He currently resides in Farnham, Surrey, United Kingdom, with his wife, Amtul Sabooh Ahmad. Together, they have two children and five grandchildren. His Holiness enjoys gardening, reading, photography, and walking. As the spiritual leader of Ahmadi Muslims worldwide, he passionately advocates for Islam through a message of peace and compassion.

“Do not think that these things which I have said are inconceivable. No, they are the Will of that Mighty One Who is the Lord of the earth and the heaven. I am not worried about how these funds will be collected, nor do I grieve over how such a Jama‘at will be raised who, inspired by their faith, shall perform such heroic feats.
Rather, I am worried that, after I am gone, those who will be entrusted with these funds may not, seeing their abundance, stumble and fall in love with the world. So I pray that such honest people may always be found by the Jama‘at who work for God alone. However, it shall be lawful that those who have no means to support themselves should be given something from these funds by way of “ assistance.

TRUSTEES’ EVALUATION OF PUBLIC BENEFIT, ADVANTAGES & BENEFICIARIES
The Trustees have carefully considered The Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, as outlined in their publication “Public Benefit”, along with specific guidance, while preparing their public benefit statement included in this annual trustee report.
’ The primary beneficiaries of the charity are detailed within this report. Consequently, the trustees evaluation of public benefit is grounded in the actual performance reported for the year.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE , & MANAGEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board of Trustees of AMJ International, made up of nine members, convenes formally a minimum of three times per year, along with numerous informal gatherings throughout the year.
The Board has established a sub-committee known as “The Finance Committee,” which has been assigned specific responsibilities and terms of reference by the Board. This Committee oversees the daily financial operations of the Charity and is also responsible for preparing the annual Income and Expenditure budget, which must receive approval from the Board.
METHOD OF RECRUITMENT & APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
Potential Board members are chosen from the global Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The existing Board assesses its current skill and experience needs to ensure that new trustees possess a diverse range of professional, academic, and essential skills.
Once a new Trustee is appointed, they participate in a thorough induction process. This includes meetings with the Trustees, an overview of the grant-making process, an understanding of the Board's powers and responsibilities, and insights into the role of the Finance Committee. Additionally, new Trustees receive key documents such as the latest minutes from the Board and Finance Committee, the Annual Report and financial statements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and guidance from the Charity Commission. The Board actively encourages Trustees to attend relevant seminars and conferences to remain knowledgeable about the charity sector and current issues.
We are committed to the transparent and responsible management of donor funds, ensuring that pay and remuneration for our Key Management Personnel (KMP) are determined fairly and diligently. Our remuneration policies strike a balance between competitiveness and fiscal responsibility, undergoing regular reviews by our Board of Trustees and Human Resources. We apply both internal equity and external benchmarks to ensure appropriate compensation for our KMP while advancing our charitable mission through donor contributions.

Trustees’ Report
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE , & MANAGEMENT
Reserves Policy The Trustees are of the opinion that, in the long run, the Charity should sustain free reserves at a level equivalent to 10% of the projected budgeted expenditure for the upcoming year. This approach ensures that the Charity can cover its ongoing operational costs for a minimum of six months while securing appropriate funding for future grants.
The free reserves for the year are £25.41 million, a decrease of £9.42 million (27%) from £34.83 million in the prior year. Despite this reduction, the reserves remain robust and successfully meet the target of at least 10% of anticipated budgeted expenditure.
Investments The Finance Committee is tasked with making investment decisions. Any surplus cash is allocated to money market accounts for durations varying from overnight to one year fixed. Over the coming year, the Finance Committee will formulate investment policies that will be presented to the Board of Trustees for approval prior to their implementation.
Grants AMJ International is a non-profit organisation that secures global funding from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Communities. The Trustees allocate grants to other charities that share similar goals, as well as to Ahmadiyya Muslim communities in the UK and abroad, focusing on areas of greatest need. Grants are awarded after a comprehensive evaluation by the trustees on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that both institutions and individuals receive support to advance our objectives over the specified period.
The grant application process is designed to be both simple and efficient, collecting all the essential information needed to make informed decisions.

Grant priorities & selection criteria
The Trustees are particularly interested in:
the propagation of Islam worldwide;
the building of mosques, hospitals and schools; scientific research and development; the award of scholarships for higher education; the provision of emergency relief in cases of natural disasters; and assistance to the deserving and needy.
The above priorities have been established since the formation of the Charity. Whilst they are reviewed each year, they are unlikely to change radically in the foreseeable future.
Social Investment
AMJ International provides ongoing support to the Mirza Sharif Ahmad Foundation, a charity dedicated to similar goals, particularly focused on aiding the poor and needy while ensuring access to decent housing. The cumulative funds allocated to the foundation stood at £4.45 million as at the end of 2024 (2023: £2.87 million). The foundation is governed by an independent Board of Trustees.
The charity has invested its funds in residential properties. AMJ International maintains a formal charge on these properties, while the trustees hold the right to impose interest charges.
Volunteers & The charity is guided by committed trustees who selflessly dedicate their time as volunteers. The main focus of the organisation is grantFundraising making, which requires limited participation from additional volunteers. However, many grant recipients of AMJ International rely heavily on volunteers, especially from the global AMJ community, for organising events such as the Annual Convention (Jalsa Salana).
AMJ International does not engage in fundraising efforts, as it is financially supported by Ahmadiyya Muslim Communities around the world.

Financial Review
At present, any excess of income over expenditure is retained as unrestricted funds unless received as part of a specific appeal.
The balance on undesignated reserves as at 31 December 2024 is £58.90 million (31 December 2023 was £67.73 million ). Additionally, the trustees have retained the social investment reserve (designated reserves) of £4.56 million (31 December 2023, £2.88 million).
It continues to be the trustees’ policy to establish a level of reserves sufficient to enable the Charity to operate as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the Charity has adequate reserves to cover one year’s worth of core costs and to fund existing projects worldwide.
The result this year has been a decrease in total reserves to £63.46 million at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023, £70.61 million). This current level of unrestricted reserves represents approximately one year’s worth of grants payable.

Going concern Embracing the Future
The Trustees have reviewed the financial forecasts for the charity and have, in particular, considered its anticipated income and expenditure commitments for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of this ’ Trustees Annual Report. The Trustees believe that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months and to meet all of its liabilities during that period as they fall due. For that reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

S. 172(1) Statement
2024 Annual Report
Section 172(1) STATEMENT
The Directors/Trustees, who comprise the Board of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat International (AMJ), have acted in a way that they considered, in good faith, to be most likely to promote the success of AMJ and its members as a whole, and in doing so had regard, amongst other matters, to:
- the likely consequences of any decision in the long term; the interests of AMJ’s employees; the need to foster AMJ’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; the impact of AMJ’s operations on the community and the environment; the desirability of AMJ maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and the need to act fairly as between the members of AMJ.
Additionally, the Directors/Trustees have also considered the perspectives and interests of a broader array of stakeholders, which includes our partners, regulators, and non-governmental organisations. Taking this wide-ranging set of interests into account is a crucial aspect of the Board’s decision-making process and the decisions they ultimately make.
The Board may occasionally engage directly with specific stakeholders on particular issues. However, due to the extensive size and distribution of our stakeholders and AMJ, stakeholder engagement typically occurs at an operational level, with various matters assigned to management for daily handling rather than the Board. Nevertheless, the Board remains informed of all significant issues, and key decisions are made by the Board itself.
The Board reviews and discusses information from across AMJ to grasp the impact of our operations and to understand the interests and perspectives of our key stakeholders. It also evaluates strategy, financial and operational performance, as well as information regarding key risks and legal and regulatory compliance. This information is delivered to the Board through periodic reports provided before meetings and presented in person.
As a result of these activities, the Board maintains an overview of stakeholder engagement and other relevant factors, enabling the Directors to fulfil their legal responsibilities in accordance with Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006.

S. 172(1) Statement
2024 Annual Report
Section 172(1) STATEMENT
In discharging their s.172(1) duties, the Directors have had regard to the factors set out above, as well as other factors deemed relevant by the Directors to the decisions being made. The Board acknowledges that ’ every decision made may not result in a positive outcome equally for all stakeholders. By considering AMJ s ’ objectives, together with AMJ s strategic priorities, the Board aims to ensure that the decisions pursued are consistent and intended to promote AMJ’s long-term success.
Examples of how the Directors have engaged with the Charity’s stakeholders with regard to section 172(1) (a) to (f) are detailed below:
A. The Likely Consequences of Any Decision in the Long-Term
AMJ is committed to long-term sustainability, a principle embedded in our strategic decision-making process. The Board ensures that decisions are made with a forward-looking perspective, promoting the enduring success and stability of the organisation. This is put into practice through robust financial governance, which includes regular Board oversight and the maintenance of reserves in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). Crucially, our long-term view extends to our stakeholders; we actively prioritise the financial health and viability of our grantee and grantor partners, recognising that their sustainability is integral to our own.
B. The Interests of the Company's Employees
AMJ is dedicated to the well-being of its employees, recognising their vital contribution to our success. We ensure fair compensation by aligning our pay scales with the National Living Wage (NLW), which stood at £11.44 as of 31 December 2024.

Beyond statutory requirements, we provide additional financial support to a majority of our staff to assist with rent and other essential living costs. Furthermore, we engage with a dedicated team of volunteers, which not only enhances our operational efficiency but also provides valuable experience to individuals who contribute their time and commitment.
Our commitment to fostering a fair and inclusive workplace includes comprehensive support for disabled employees. We ensure equal access to training and career progression opportunities and are proactive in making necessary adjustments and reasonable accommodations to roles and working conditions. This may include redeployment or retraining where appropriate, to support the continued employment and development of our disabled colleagues.

C. Fostering Relationships with Suppliers, Partners, and Others
The Board values the input of a diverse range of stakeholders, including our partners, regulators, and other non-governmental organisations, viewing this engagement as critical to the decision-making process. While balancing varying perspectives presents inherent challenges, we are committed to understanding the interests of our key stakeholders and the impact of our activities. To achieve this, the Board conducts comprehensive reviews of information from across the organisation, covering strategy, financial and operational performance, key risks, and regulatory compliance. This information is shared through regular reports and presentations to ensure the Board's decisions are well-informed and consider the wider stakeholder landscape.
D. The Impact of Operations on the Community and the Environment
Our organisation is dedicated to making a positive impact on both the community and the environment. We actively engage with the community through a variety of philanthropic events, including cricket matches, fundraising drives, and mosque tours. In parallel, we prioritise environmental sustainability through tangible initiatives such as the installation of solar panels, green rooftops, and eco-friendly vehicle charging stations, with plans to introduce a cycle-to-work scheme. These efforts reflect our commitment to being responsible stewards of the environment and making a meaningful contribution to the communities we serve.
E. The Desirability of Maintaining a Reputation for High Standards of Business Conduct
AMJ is steadfast in its commitment to the highest standards of ethical conduct. This principle guides our strategic objectives and is evident in our partnerships. We conduct thorough due diligence on the goals of our key partners, ensuring grants are awarded only to organisations that align with our charitable objectives and adhere to our internal financial controls. Safeguarding and leadership principles are embedded in our staff recruitment, induction, and appraisal processes. Furthermore, we have a zerotolerance policy for corruption; all suppliers, partners, and employees must abide by a strict code of conduct that prohibits fraud, bribery, money laundering, and nepotism.
F. The Need To Act Fairly as Between Members of the Company
The Charity is governed by a Council of Members, which has appointed a Board of Trustees to provide ' independent control and oversight. The Board of Trustees is accountable for the Charity s overall performance, which is reported and reviewed in regular, detailed Board meetings. To ensure alignment and effective governance, some Members of the Charity also serve as trustees and hold key management decision-making authority, including participation in the Finance Committee. To enhance the breadth of expertise within our governance structure, AMJ International is actively working to appoint additional members to the Council of Management, ensuring a wider variety of skills is represented.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THE AUDITOR
FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS
As far as the Trustees are aware, at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report:
there is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware, and the Trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
Although the charity would maintain restricted funds to deal with incoming resources that are earmarked for a particular purpose by donors, sponsors, and other funders, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat International does not hold any funds, and the trustees do not anticipate that it will in the future hold any funds as the custodian for any third party.

-
the responsibility of management to
-
implement the Trustees’ policies and identify and evaluate risks for their consideration on an on-going basis;
-
consideration of the type of risks the Charity faces;
-
the level of risks which they regard as acceptable;
-
the likelihood of the risks concerned materialising;
-
the Charity’s ability to reduce the incidence and impact on the business of risks that do materialise;

OTHER INFORMATION
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 charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are 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.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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.
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 course of 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 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 information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Independent AUDITOR’S REPORT
AUDITOR’S 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 THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD
-
Irregularities are instances of non compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help - identify instances of non compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond
-
appropriately to identified or suspected non compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:
-
obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charitable company operates in and how the charitable company is complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks;
-
inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
Page 40
www.amjinternational.org
AMJ International
2024 Annual Report
Independent Auditor’s Report
Independent AUDITOR’S REPORT
discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011 and the charitable ’ company s governing document.
The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud.
Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business and challenging judgments and estimates.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http:// 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 charitable 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 charitable 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and under the historical cost convention. Within the definitions of FRS 102, the charity is a public benefit entity.
The financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in more detail below, to comply with the charity’s governing document, 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 published on October 2019 (the FRS 102 Charities SORP 2019).
GENERAL INFORMATION
AMJ International is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Tahir House, 22 Deer Park Road, London SW19 3TL, United Kingdom. The charities objectives and aims are disclosed in the Trustees and Strategic Report.
GOING CONCERN
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.
The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the accounts.
The trustees are satisfied that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about its ability to continue as a going concern.
This conclusion has been formed as a result of the strong net assets position of the Charity at the year-end of £63,462k, cash balance of £26,746k and the continued support from global donors.
Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

APPORTIONMENT OF EXPENDITURE
Expenditure (including irrecoverable VAT) is apportioned under the guidance of the SORP and analysed between directly undertaken activities, grant funding of activities and support cost;
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.
The method of apportionment is as follows:
-
Costs attributable solely to one activity are allocated to that activity;
-
Costs which contribute directly to the output of more than one activity are apportioned on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis;
-
Support costs are apportioned based on the following criteria:
-
General Management - Total cost of activities
-
PR & Communication - Total cost of activities
-
Administration - Total cost of activities
-
Finance - Total cost of activities
-
Currency translation gains - Total cost of activities
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of transaction. Foreign currency balances are translated into sterling at the exchange rates prevailing at the Balance Sheet date. Any gains or losses are included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
GOVERNANCE
Governance costs are the costs associated with the constitutional and statutory arrangements of the Charity as opposed to those costs associated with income generation or charitable activity. Included within this category are costs associated with the strategic rather than day to day management of the Charity’s activities. These costs include external audit and reimbursed trustee expenses.
FUNDS
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated in furtherance of the ’ Charity s objectives without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. Transfers between undesignated and designated funds occur when donations are earmarked for specific projects.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of listed investments which are subsequently measured at fair value.
FINANCIAL ASSETS
Other debtors which are receivable within one year are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered.
A provision for impairment of other debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original terms of the contract.
Impairment losses are recognised in income and expenditure for the excess of the carrying value of the trade debtor over the present value of the future cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate.
Subsequent reversals of an impairment loss that objectively relate to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, are recognised immediately in income or expenditure.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
PENSION SCHEME ARRANGEMENTS
Defined contribution plans. The charity makes contributions to personal pension arrangements in respect of all staff.
Contributions are shown as expenditure in the year in which they are paid. The charitable company has no liability in this respect other than the amounts actually paid in any year.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT
The social investment reflects funds provided to a charity with similar objectives, emphasising helping the poor and needy and providing a reasonable standard of accommodation.
Initially, these investments are recognised at cost. Subsequently, they are subject to ongoing assessments for impairment. The estimation of recoverable amounts involves considering value in use estimations and necessitating projections of future cash flows. Periodic adjustments are made as necessary based on revised estimates and changes in circumstances.
