Introduction
AIF UK trustees present the following report for the financial year ending 31 March 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 and comply with the charities trust deed (comprising the Memorandum and Articles of Association) and applicable law.
Our Mission
The Al-Imdaad Foundation is a non-profit humanitarian aid relief organisation (NGO) registered in the United Kingdon, dedicated to providing humanitarian services in crisis and non-crisis situations to the neediest orphans, widows and destitute families, irrespective of race, religion, culture, creed, and geographical boundary.
Our Vision
The Al-Imdaad Foundation aspires to excel in humanitarian relief, providing humanitarian services with the highest level of compassion, professionalism, and care under the supervision of a team of professionals from South Africa and abroad.
How Were Unique
The Al-Imdaad Foundation was formed in South Africa by a minority community. The diverse cultural and linguistic context of South Africa has allowed the Foundation to take on a truly humanitarian perspective by striving to serve all communities.
The humanitarian ethics of the Islamic tradition inspires the Al-Imdaad Foundation. We have always involved Islamic Scholars (Ulema) in our activities from early formation until now. This ensures that all the organisation's operations are in accordance with Islamic guidance and principles.
The Foundation responds quickly and effectively through country offices and links on the ground in countries worldwide. We have a 100% donations policy, so all donations to a specific cause or location go to that project and are not used for admin costs or implementation expenses.
Where we are
The Al Imdaad Foundation has registered offices in Indonesia, Jordan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Chile and Kenya. These offices have been established to take care of our various projects in these regions and to act as fundraising partners. The Foundation is at an advanced stage to establish further representative offices in other parts of the world (including Turkey).

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objectives and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. Under those Articles, the committee members are elected at the AGM and subject to ratification at each AGM.
The charity is based in the UK and has its main Blackburn office with volunteers from home throughout the country.

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees take responsibility for and directs the charity's operations. The board sets priorities and objectives through the management team and reviews performance regularly.
The Trustees set the strategic agenda and drive good practices for the charity.
All nominations of potential new trustees are reviewed by the existing trustees and approved by the main board, with trustees chosen because they have the diverse range of skills, knowledge and experiences that we need to respond to the charity's needs. Trustees can be temporarily co-opted between AGMs by agreement of the remaining members if numbers on the management committee fall below the required level.
New trustees undergo an orientation event briefing them on their obligations, the contents of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and the decision-making processes, the business plan and the recent performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events when these will facilitate the undertaking of the role.
Risks Management
It has been a challenging two years for charities, as the Corona Virus Pandemic has impacted everything from service delivery to fundraising.
The Trustees review the charity's major risks regularly and believe that maintaining reserves in accordance with the reserves policy on page 10, combined with an annual review of the controls over the critical financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustee has also examined other operational and business risks the charity faces and confirmed that they had established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
The management committee reviews the major tasks involving the charity and examines the systems to mitigate any risks.
The Trustees are committed to and are continuously striving to have more robust systems and controls, which all provide even more transparency and accuracy and ensure that the donors to the charity can give confidently and that the charity's assets are safeguarded.

All significant activities undertaken are subject to a risk review as part of the initial activity assessment and implementation. Major risks, for this purpose, are those that may have a significant effect on the:
-
Operational Performance - Weaknesses or failure of leadership. The inability to develop and retain talent effectively and an organisational culture that is not an enabler in the pursuit of a charity's strategy and objectives
-
Income and financial stability - Financial sustainability, including stability and security of funds.
-
Cyber Security - Cyber incidents (typically unauthorised or inappropriate access to an organisation's network) executed by external or internal parties that negatively impact the confidentiality, Integrity and availability of a charity's information systems and data
-
Governance - The charity does not achieve its strategic, charitable, regulatory and ethical objectives due to inadequate governance at the board and senior management or operational levels
-
Achievement of our aims and objectives; or
-
Meeting the expectations of our beneficiaries and/or supporters
The trustees review these risks continuously and ensure that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the identified risks. Where appropriate, risks are covered by insurance.
The following framework is central to ensuring adequate risk assurance:
-
Regular monitoring of major risks and development of action plans;
-
Embedding risk identification and assessment within operating procedures;
-
A clear structure of delegated authority and control;
-
Review of key systems and procedures through internal arrangements;
-
Income and profit targets for our trading and fundraising activities;
-
Maintaining reserves in line with set policies; and
-
Regular summary reports on risk management to the Trustees Board.
We continue to pay particular attention to addressing the heightened risks to our staff and partners operating in areas of unrest. Therefore, we are continuing to review our training programme for our workers going overseas and monitor all programmes in conflict zones to assess whether local staff would be more appropriate for specific programmes.

Global Offices

Building on existing partnerships is a continuous process, but we are also consciously seeking new working methods. We will find new partners with which to increase our impact and meet our objectives of serving humanity and alleviating needs globally.

Developments, Activities and Achievements
During the year, the charity has continued to increase its spending on existing projects and find new and unique projects to help people in need. The charity has pursued its commitments from previous disasters in the year with vigour so that the majority of funds raised have now been spent, with a reserve left for longer-term projects.
Activities below include our response to some of our projects locally and globally. These are just some of the projects that are highlighted below. Thousands in the mentioned countries were displaced in the year and urgently needed aid relief. However, the charity managed to deliver its aid promptly and effectively with generous support from donors. Below is a list of the types of projects we have undertaken. For more detailed information, visit our website, www.alimdaad.co.uk, or our social media.
-
Food Items
-
Shelter
-
Medical
-
Water Projects
-
UK projects
-
Winter Packs
-
Empowerment
-
Orphan Care
A mention must be made of the hard work of those Trustees, employees, volunteers and management team members who have been personally involved in distributing the aid in all parts of the world. They spent their time overseas ensuring that the aid reached the needed places. The charity is thankful for their commitment and service.
Project Selection and Life Cycle
Before embarking on a project, we have established a review process to determine whether the project is worth the investment. Due diligence checks are performed before starting any project. We are constantly engaging partners in looking for more efficient, innovative projects with fewer negative environmental impacts. Once we decide on a project, the project team monitors from beginning to end and maintains constant communication with the partner. Monitoring and evaluation occur at the project lifecycle's beginning, middle, and end. Partners have become accustomed to the requirement for continuous project updates throughout the project lifecycle as opposed to a single update at the end.

Volunteers
The Trustees are very grateful to the numerous volunteers who have helped the charity during the year with their spare time and the skills they have brought to the charity. The Trustees would like to thank members of the public who have donated so generously to the charity. Their contributions go a long way towards the charity's commitment to the 100% donation policy where possible.
Financial Review
The charity's total annual income came to £3,948,155 (2022: £2,582,009). Of this amount, £3,661,218 (2022: £2,368,409) was raised for Aid Programmes in the year. As shown on Note 16 of the accounts, £3,335,630 (2022: £2,871,862) was spent on specific projects and is shown as restricted expenditure in accordance with the wishes of the donors. The management team apply the funding to chosen projects with the intention of delivering outcomes within six months.
During the year, there has been a slight increase in the relative expenditure on administration costs. This was due to the increased resources required to deliver the increased operational activities.
The charity reported a surplus of £606,989 (2022: £293,803) for the year ended 31 March 2023. Total funds carried forward at 31st March 2023 were £1,248,128, of which £717,996 are restricted funds, and £530,132 are unrestricted funds.
Funds are raised with no restrictions and have been used in the charity's administration. This, along with Gift Aid, rental income and other unrestricted income, provides the charity with sufficient funds to carry out its charitable objectives of having a 100% donation policy.
Investment Policy
The charity's reserves are currently held in a 'profit-based' current account with Al Rayan Bank Plc. The reserves are kept to enable the directors to continue the charity's activities in the event of a significant drop in funding. The Trustee reviews from time to time the possibility of releasing reserve funds for specific projects.
Future Plans
As a growing International NGO, the charity will continue to respond to emergencies in existing areas of operations and also in other areas based on need. The Trustees are pleased that the charity has significantly increased its revenue during the year, and the increase rate shows the charity has managed to reach out to the public who have supported them. Al Imdaad Foundation plans to continue its growth by increasing its engagement with different communities.
The challenge for the charity is to maintain the revenue momentum and ensure good local partners on the ground deliver efficiently and effectively. The Trustees continue recruiting specialist staff, and a personnel review is constantly under review.

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies' regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities statement set out on page 13, the trustees (who are also the directors of Al-Imdaad Foundation UK Limited for purposes of Company Law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF AL-IMDAAD FOUNDATION UK LIMITED
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the company and management.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charitable company and determined that the most significant are the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), the UK Companies Act 2006, the Charities Acts and tax legislation (governed by HM Revenue and Customs).
-
We understood how the charitable company is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of senior management. We also reviewed significant correspondence between the charitable company and regulatory bodies, reviewed any minutes of the Board, and gained an understanding of the charitable company’s approach to governance, demonstrated by the Board’s review of the charitable company’s risk management framework and internal control processes.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by considering the controls that the charitable company has established to address risks identified by the charitable company, or that otherwise seek to prevent, deter or detect fraud.
-
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved inquiries of senior management, review of significant correspondence with regulatory bodies and submissions made to the Charities Commission, minutes of meetings of the Board, and focused testing.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Al-Imdaad Foundation UK (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) "second edition" effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Charity meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liability are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The preparation of the the financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and it also requires judgement in applying the charitable company's accounting policies. The items where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
-
Depreciation and the estimated Useful Economic Lives of tangible fixed assets
-
Impairment losses and the estimated fair value or carrying amount of property
Refer to the accounting policies below for Tangible Fixed Assets and Investments and Notes 10 & 11 for further details.
Going concern
The directors/trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.
We have adequate resources and are well place to manage risks. Our planning process, including financial projections, has taken into consideration the current economic climate and its potential impact on the various sources of income and planned expenditure. We have a reasonable expectation that we have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. We believe that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity's ability to continue.
Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectivities of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of any designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Projects Payable
Grants for which there is a legal obligation, or a valid expectation of receipt by the beneficiary at the year end, and for which conditions attaching to their payment have been fulfilled, are accounted for within the Statement of Financial Activities. Grants approved subject to conditions that have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment (see note 4).
Incoming Resources
Items of income are recognized and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
-
the charity or its subsidiary have entitlement to the funds;
-
any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity or its subsidiary;
-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
-
the amount can be measured reliably.
Grants are apportioned to the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is entitled to the income, which may be determined by the Charity having met certain terms or conditions.

1 Accounting policies (continued) Resources Expended
-
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes VAT and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
-
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting the income.
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It
-
includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Grants payable are payments made to third parties and Al-Imdaad South Africa in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the company. The grants are accounted for once the offer has been accepted and all obligations under the offer complied with.
Support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll, pension and governance costs which support the Charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. as a percentage of direct costs.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost. The Trustees have agreed to set the de-minima limit to £5,000.
Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets other than long leasehold buildings classed as investment properties are stated at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives.
Long Leasehold Buildings - 2% straight line IT Equipment - 20% straight line Fixtures and Fittings - 20% straight line
Investments
Land and buildings classed as investment properties are initially recognised at historical cost and then measured at market value as at the date of their last valuation. Investment properties shall not be subject to periodic charges for depreciation except for properties held on short leases, which shall be depreciated over the period when the unexpired term is 20 years or less.
Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currency are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the year-end. All exchange differences are recognised through the statement of financial activities.
Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash or bank balances, excluding any financing transactions, are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Investments in equity instruments (other than the company's own equity or any subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures) are initially recognised at their transaction price and are subsequently measured at fair value at each period end. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit or loss. Fair value is measured with reference to the net asset value per share at the period end.
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and bank loans, excluding any financing transactions, are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
