The othcr inf0mtIOn comprAses the infonnation included in the Annual Report. other than thc financial $tatenMts and our Rep)rt of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statcments does not cover the other infomjation and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly ststed in our reporL we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connextion with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility i8 to read the other inforn)ation and. in doing so, consider whether the other infomtion is materially inconsistent with the financial statement8 or our knowl¢dge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misststed. If we identify such material incon818tencies oi. apparent material misstatements, we are required to delerniine whether this gives I'jse to a rn8tei.ial misstalement in the financial statements themsclvcs. If. based on the work we have pei'formed, w¢ concludc tliat there is a material mssstatement of this other inf0mtIOn, we are required to r¢port that fa¢t. We have nothlng to Yeport in this regard, Matters on whlch we gre requlred to report by exceptlon We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounls and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, An our opinion: the inf0mtIOn given in the Rep* of the Trust¢e8 18 incon8lSt¢nt in any material respect with the financial Statements. or the ¢h8rAlable company has not kept adequAte aecounting records; or th¢ financial statements ar¢ not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or we have not received all ¢h¢ infomiation and explanations we iequire for our audit. Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Tivstee8' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the ¢haritable company for the purposes of company law) are irsponsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied thal they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the tLIth¢s deterniine is nece8sary to enable the preparation of financial Statements that are free from material mi8Statement, whether due to fTaud or error. In preparing th¢ fjnancial statements, the trustees are respon8ible for as8e8sing the charitable company's ability to ¢ontinue as a going concern, disclosin& 88 applicable, m8tter8 related to going ¢on¢ern and u8in8 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.

Re rt of tlie Inde ndent Auditois to tlie Trustees of Muslim Welfare House Our responsibilldes for the audlt of the financial statements Wc bave been appointed as audito1% under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 And report in aeeordance with tlje Act and relevant r¢gulations made or having effect thcreundcr. Our obj¢ctives are to obtsin rea80nable assurance about whether the financial stateinents as a whole are fiEe from material inisstateillent, wb¢ther due to fi'aud or error. and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditor8 that includes our opinion. Reasonable llssurance is a high level of assurance. but l6 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accoi'dance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material inisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or eiTor and are considered material if, individually oi. in tl)e aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on tlie basis of these fjnancial statements. Thc extent to which oui. pi'ocedures are capable of detecting irre8ularitie8, including fraud is detailed below: Iegula1.lt1¢S, includin8 fi'aud, are instances of non-compliance WAth laws and regulations, We identified and asse&sed the risks of m&terial misstatem¢nl of the finan¢Aal 8tatements fi'om i2'1'egulai'ities, whether due to fitud or eOr, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and peifornied audit procedui'es responsive to those risks, iticluding obtalning audit evidence 8uffi¢ient Ind appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtain¢d an understanding of the legal and i'e8ulatory framework within which the cliaritabl¢ company operates, focusing on those law8 and re8ulations that bave a direct effect on tlie detej'nllnation of materlal allK)unts and di8closure8 in the financial statements In addition, we con8idaid provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a diitct effect on the financial statemertts but compliance with whicb mighi be fundamental ¢0 the charitable company's ability to operate oi, to avoid inateriAI penalty. We also considered the oppoitUDlties and incentives that m8y exist WAtI)in tlie cliai'itable company for fi'aud. The laws and regulations we consid¢itd amongst otliers include General Data Prot¢clion Regulation (GDPR), employment legislation, taxation legislation and anti-fraud, bi'ibery? comiption legislation and landlord and teiiant8 Act, Auditing standards limit tlie required audit piDcedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and IEgulations to enquiiy of the Tiuste¢s and otlier management and inspection of regulatory and le8al correspondence, if any. W¢ identified the Talest iisk of niatei'ial impact oil the financial statements fi'oni irregularities, including fi?ud, to be within the timing of recognition of income and the override of conttDls by management, Our audil proceduiu to respoiid to these risks in¢liided enquiries of management, internal aiidit and tlie Tn]stees about their own identiflcation alld assessinent of tlie risks and ittegularities, 8aniple testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimat¢s for biases, Itviewing i'egulatory correspondence with Cliarity Con)niission, review of donor audit i'eports, health and safety regulations, and reading of minutes of meetings of t1}8¢ chaiEed with governance. Page 20
ort of the Jnd endent Auditors to the Trustees of Muslim Welfare House Owing to inhcrent limitations of an audit, theit is an unavoidablc risk that w¢ may not have d¢tected sorne material misstatemenls in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and perfonned our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, lh¢ fiwther removd non-cotnpliance with laws and i'egulations (irregularitie5) is frorn the events and transaction8 reflected in the financial statements, th¢ less likely the inheiEntly limAteAI procedures required by auditing standard8 would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a high¢r risk of non d¢tection of Iegularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, int¢n¢ional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and nn0t be expected Co detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
