## Risk Management
The trustees are ultimately responsible for risk management and the effectiveness of our internal control systems. The major risks to which we are exposed, as identified by the trustees, are regularly reviewed and systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks.
The Board of Trustees has considered and approved the risk management policy and its appetite for risk. It has delegated the regular review of the risk management process to the Audit and Risk Committee, which also oversees the work of the audit, risk and assurance function. Senior management ensures that day-to-day risk management processes are embedded across the organisation, through the effective implementation of policies and procedures and the maintenance of appropriate risk registers. Risks are assessed on the basis of their likelihood and potential impact, along with the mitigation strategies in place to manage them in line with the risk appetite.
## **Financial risk**
Shortfall in covering operations this risk was mitigated by furloughing employees up to September 2021, requesting a payment holiday from creditors, and depending on volunteers to cover furloughed employees.
## **Operational risk**
Shortfall in manpower and resources to run activities this risk was mitigated by reducing activities and encouraging new volunteers to join during the pandemic.
## **Regulatory compliance risk**
Failure to keep abreast of local laws and requirements could compromise our ability to continue working and serve our beneficiaries, Failure to demonstrate compliance with the regulatory framework, as it evolves, could damage our reputation and result in fines and other penalties.
To control and mitigate that risk The organisation hired a professional compliance officer as a contractor responsible for ensuring compliance with local requirements, including registration, tax compliance and statutory reporting.
The organisation provides induction and training to new trustees and have processes in place to keep the board apprised of relevant changes in regulation.
## **Human resources risk**
If we do not provide effective leadership and management, and if we do not look after the wellbeing of our staff or ensure that we are diverse and truly inclusive, the implementation of our strategy could be significantly compromised and our reputation damaged.
To control and mitigate that risk - We have rigorous recruitment processes designed to help select candidates who can best help us meet our core aims, and to ensure equal opportunities. Our recruitment policies include structured gender sensitive and racially diverse panel interviews and the taking up of references. Staff sign our code of conduct and have a structured induction.
we have human resources policies designed to promote employee wellbeing and the provision of regular and open communication to employees. During the COVID-19 pandemic we have implemented a range of measures to promote staff wellbeing and have conducted staff meetings to test levels of satisfaction with our response.

## _INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT_
_TO THE TRUSTEES OF DISCOVER ISLAM EUROPE LIMITED_
_FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 December 2022_
I report on the accounts which are set out on Pages below
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustee**
The trustees (who are also 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 period under section144(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 an 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; follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 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.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you the directors have not disclosed in the accounts any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the date when the accounts are authorised for issue.
## **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:
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
b. 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
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Amounts are recognised in inventory until distributed at which point the relevant cost is released to the statement of financial activities.

## **Section C**
Support costs are those costs incurred indirectly in support of expenditure on the programmes of the Charity. Allocation of support costs and staff costs have been proportionated to the total of programme costs and corresponding thematic programme area.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. They include legal advice for trustees, cost of trustees' meetings, audit fee and internal audit costs. These costs are allocated in the same way as other support costs.
## c) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the time of the transaction.
Foreign currency balances are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency gains and losses are recognised through the Statement of Financial Activities for the period in which they are incurred.
## d) Investment property: N/A.
## e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as
Leasehold properties Straight line over the life of the lease Freehold properties 5% straight line Computers and software 25% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Office equipment 25% straight line Motor vehicles 15% straight line
Assets that are subject to amortisation are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate.
## f) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which include buildings and equipment necessary for the proper functioning of the Charity and other funds available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the Charity's objectives.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for
particular purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are subject to specific restrictions as
imposed by the donor or nature of the appeal.
## g) Taxation
As a registered charity, Discover Islam Europe is exempt from taxation of income and gains to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only.
## h) Key judgements and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on the Trustees' best judgment at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the year in which the circumstances change. The Trustees' do not believe that there are any significant areas of estimation uncertainty that need to be disclosed.
