3. ACTIVITIES (Cont)
Coventry Muslim School (CMS) was established in 1991 for pupils aged 4-16 (Mixed Primary and Girl’s Secondary), after recognizing a growing demand for Muslim children to be offered secular education whilst upholding their Islamic morals and values. From the start of academic year the school changed it's name to Lote Tree Primary (LTP).
LTP operates predominantly by collecting school fees from student, donations from individuals and fundraising events.
Our aim is to instil in our children a strong sense of Islamic identity which they can be proud of, whilst providing them with the highest standards of education. We hope to (Insha-Allah) produce responsible and productive, model Muslim citizens who will confidently engage within society and meet the challenges of the future, whilst presenting a positive image of their Islamic personality.
The management committee set up a charitable trust called Coventry Education and Welfare Trust under a trust deed dated 7 September 2008.
The Trust was registered as a charity on 5th November 2008 with charity number 1126570.

iNDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COVENTRY EDUCATION AND WELFARE TRUST
I report on the accounts of the Charity on pages 6 to 9 for the year ended 31 August 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and with the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102), adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 8.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As described on page 3, 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 s144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
It is my responsilbility to:
a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and;
c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1)which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts for the Year to 31st August 2020
1. Accounting Policies
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Charities Act 2011. Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement under ‘Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows’ as permitted by FRS 102 on the grounds that the charity qualifies as a small entity.
(a) Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. Other income is accounted for on an accrual basis as far as it is prudent to do so. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
(b) Students fees are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on accrual basis.
(c) Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT, which cannot be recovered. Since there are no restricted incoming resources the charity trustees are free to spend the funds as they deem fit in the furtherance of the charity's objectives.
(d) As a registered charity the charity is generally exempt from Income and Capital Gains Tax, but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
(e) Debtors and creditors
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(f) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
(g) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
