During the year the charity received income donations of £297,455 (2023 - £354,373). Expenditure incurred during the year amounted to £330,611 (2023 - £294,376). This meant overall there was a deficit of £33,156 (2023 - £59,997 surplus) in the year, furthermore there is a surplus of funds carried forward amounting to £73,726 (2023 - £106,882) and a positive bank balance of £75,654 (2023 - £108,549). This shows that the charity has capacity to undertake more projects and will look to do so as and when needed.
## **Future plans**
The trustee's plans for the forthcoming 12 months are to continue with the school build projects for those deprived of education and continue with the livelihood schemes to support those whom are less fortunate. The trustee's will also continue to work on water and orphan projects in addition to anything else that may arise during the year where AFT thinks it can make a difference.
## **Reserve Policy**
Unrestricted funds are needed:

## **ABU FAISAL TRUST**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of the Responsibilities of Abu Faisal Trust**
The trustees' are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees' to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, 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 presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees' are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. 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.
The trustees' are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees' are also responsible for all trust finance, its management and control. These responsibilities include:
- a) Keeping “proper accounting records” which are sufficient to show and explain all the trusts's transactions and must include a record of all relevant assets and liabilities
- b) Ensuring that the finances of the trust are under its control and only delegated if the trust can ensure that its wishes will be followed.
- c) Preparing annual financial statements and report, which shall be presented to the trustees' in accordance with the requirements of the Church Representation Rules.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees' confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Financial Instruments**
The accounts are set out on pages 6 - 12. They have been drawn up in compliance with the Companies Act 2006, the relevant provisions of the Charities Act 2011 and recommendations of the revised Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102), issued by the Charity Commissioner for England and Wales (SORP FRS 102 - effective 1 January 2019).

## **Independent Examinations Report**
## **Independent Examiners Report to the trustees of Abu Faisal Trust**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 10. Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the Financial Statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
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.
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(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 to the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable the proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
