ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Reserve Policy

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The main sources of income during the year were from private donations. A small level of income is also derived from sale of goods. The income generated allows the aims and objectives of the Trust to be met.

Reserves policy

IHRC Trust expends all money received in the year it is received. IHRC Trust does not keep any reserves as our purpose is to support the projects our donors contribute to. Any excess funds are earmarked for a project (at the point of donation, by donor choosing to contribute towards a specific project). Delay in disbursement is due to administrative reasons, hence why it appears as a surplus.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees, who are elected under the terms of the Trust Deed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Islamic Human Rights Commission Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
