**Azad Welfare Trust Registered charity**
## Independent Auditor's report to the trustees of Azad Welfare Trust Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Azad Welfare Trust (UK) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise statement of financial of activities, balance sheet, cash flow and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31[st] December 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Charities Act 2011.
## **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 were. The trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or The trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
## **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 charity 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.
## **Other information:**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement page9, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
Page 11 of 12

statements that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing
the financial statements, the Injslees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters lated to going concern and using the going
concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the chanty or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative LNJt to do so.
Auditor's rosponslbllltles forthe audlt of the flnanclal slatements
I have been appointed as auditor under section 144111 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in
accordance with regulations made under sectson 154 of that Act. Identify and assess the risks of
m8terial misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or emr. design and
perform audrt procedures r&sponsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstslement SuItIng from fraud is higher than for one resutting from error, as fraud may invofve
collusion. forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentstions, or the override of internal control.
Reasonable as$urance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material mi5ststeTn&nt when il
exists. Misstatements can aris8 from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
taken together, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
tsken based on these financial statements. Obtain an understsnding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order lo design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstsnces, but not
for the purpose of expressing an ow'nion on the effectiveness of the charty's internal ntrOl.
Use of our roport
This report is made solely to the charity's tTuslees. as 8 body, in accordance with Part 4 of th8
Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our auditwork has been undertaken so that
we might stste to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an
auditor's rewrt and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent rMitted by law, we do not accept
or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for
our audit work. for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
As part of an audit in accordance wth ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgment and maintsin professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We are also..
Evaluate the overall presentstion. Structure. and content of the financial ststements. irlUding the
disclosures, and whether the financial ststements represent the underfying transactions and events
