Section E Financial review

Funds materially in deficit

During 2018-2019 the Charity identified a potential building for purchase and had paid a deposit (£120,000) which was secured by a guarantor who was going to help raise the remaining funds. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic this process was significantly delayed. As a result the Trustees agreed to withdraw from the process due to the uncertainty of when the restrictions would be lifted and the difficulty in raising sufficient funds to complete the purchase of the said building.

The process for returning the deposit through the guarantor was agreed to be completed over a period of 12 months, however due to the ongoing cost of living crisis and personal circumstances, the guarantor requested additional time to complete the repayment. In light of these challenges and due to the guarantor making regular repayments, the Trustees agreed to an extension and requested the guarantor to repay the full deposit. The full deposit has now been repaid and received as of January 2024.

Principal sources of funding

The principal source of funding is from individual donors from within the UK who generously donate to the charity and also respond to appeals.

Further financial review

Please refer to the Annual accounts for the period with regards to the charity’s principal sources of funds/income and expenditure, in addition to how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/
members of		 MARKAZ MUAADH IBN JABAL ISLAMIC CENTRE
On accounts for the year
ended		 01/04/2022 – 31/03/2023 Charity no 1119843
Set out on pages 30 – 40
Respective
responsibilities of trustees
and examiner		 The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is
needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to
undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association
of Chartered Certified Accountants ACCA.
It is my responsibility to:
• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
• to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the 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 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 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.

28

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Independent examiner's
statement		 In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my
attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
• the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130
of the Act; or
• the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
• the accounts did 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.

The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.

Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the terms of a specific appeal at Friday prayers or under the terms for public collection of Zakat in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

(d) Incoming resources

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
