**Report to the trustees on the preparation of the unaudited accounts of Association of Muslim Schools,UK For the year ended 31 March 2021 Charity No:1103996**
I have examined the accounts on page 7 to 10, which have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies set out on page 9.
## **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 44 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act.
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions give by the charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act) and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts pesented with those recods. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 examiner's statements**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me any reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements have not been met: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
