**How the Trustees are Elected:**
**The Board of trustees members (aka Management Committee members) are elected for a term of one year, as specified in our Articles of Association, by the members of the organisation at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held by the organisation once every year. According to our governing Articles of Association, any member's of the board could be re-elected again, so long as the member's do not wish to remain a member of the Board.**
**Policy of induction and Training of Trustees:**

**These include:**
**The obligation of the Management Committee members, to fully understand the governing documents the financial situation of the Charitable Company and the Future Plans and Objectives of the Organisation.**
**During the induction process, the new members of the Board are giving a "Question & Answer" session there they ask any question on the organisation. The same policy also includes arranging "Training programs" set for capacity building trustees so that might be able to dispense of their duties of governing the Charity. These courses are available from other voluntary organisations that support charities with which we work and network closely.**

**Independent examiner's report to the trustees of MINARET COMMUNITY CENTRE**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
I present the charity ’ s accounts for the period ending 31 March 2025, as detailed in clause 5.4 of the constitution.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act
2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- 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
- 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 other matter except that referred to in the above paragraphs, 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 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" published in March 2005 and the Companies Act 1985.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No. 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is small company.

Income from activities, voluntary income and donations are included in incoming resources when they are receivable, except when the donors specify that they must be used in future accounting periods or donors' conditions have not been fulfilled, then the income is deferred.

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT that cannot be recovered.
Expenditure that is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of those resources.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as in the opinion of the director and trustees, there are no issues arising which would suggest any other basis as being more appropriate.
