GRAVESHAM MUSLIMS CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRE (REGISTERED WITH CHARITY COMMISSION NO: 1136194)

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

GRAVESHAM MUSLIMS CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRE (Charity Commission Registration Number: 1136194)

Trustees’ Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2023

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2023.

A Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

The trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Charities SORP and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Aims and Objectives

The organisation was established to provide Islamic cultural and religious education for both children and adults and to provide Bangladeshi language and cultural education.

Activities and Review

The centre is being refurbished to improve the access and facilities. The trustees are monitoring its expenditure to ensure best value.

Financial positions

The attached financial statements show a surplus of £17,773 for the year and the balance sheet value of £492,114 as at 30[th] September 2023.

The trustees who have served during the year were as follows:

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GRAVESHAM MUSLIMS CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRE

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2023, which are set out on pages 4 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

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 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 that 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.
