Trustees Annual Report 1st August 2023 – 31st July 2024
Welcome to Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation’s Trustees’ Annual Report, which sets out for our supporters and the general public what our charity has achieved in the past twelve months, and our future plans. This report outlines some key achievements and identifies areas for development in the coming year.
Introductory Matters
Aim and purposes
Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is an educational charitable trust set up by Muslim mothers to provide an alternative holistic Islamic education for Muslim children. Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (‘the Charity') was entered on the Commission's Register of Charities as a Trust on 2 December 2005.On 14th January 2014 a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation was registered. The two charities ran in parallel until 29th May 2015 when the charitable trust was dissolved.
Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is now a charitable incorporated organization, incorporated on 14th January 2014 with the registered charity number of 1155314.
Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is a grassroots education initiative based in and around London. The foundation is the product of the dedicated efforts and sincere niyyah (intention) of Muslim mothers. At the core of our work is a synthesis of Classical Islamic education and carefully selected modern educational strategies that are in line with Islamic principles of holism and character development.. Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation runs two faith-based independent schools in Slough (ages 3-11 years) and Haringey (Ages 3-16 years).
The Foundation is involved in the propagation of Islam in accordance with the four Sunni schools of thought; this includes research in philosophy and pedagogy of holistic Islamic education, dissemination of research and the production of curricula, within the theological framework of the four Sunni schools of thought. The Foundation also runs a programme of Islamic teacher education courses both online and in person, offers consultancy, and publishes educational and curricular

Public Benefit
Shakhsiyah Schools charge fees well below the market rate in order to provide parents from deprived communities the choice of an alternative holistic Islamic education for their children. The foundation also subsidises its teacher education courses to provide affordable continuous professional development to teachers.
Vision and Mission Statement
Our children are the future of our Deen and our community.
Our community will need leaders with a clear understanding of Islamic principles and doctrines; as we strive to maintain our Islam in the midst of confusion. Therefore, they will need the tarbiyah (Character education) that will enable them to become committed Muslims and committed citizens:
-
Committed to Allah
-
Committed to their Family
-
Committed to their local Community
-
Committed to Community Cohesion
-
Committed to the Ummah (Global Muslim Community)
-
Committed to Humanity
The role of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is to develop Shakhsiyah Islamiyah (personal Islamic character) in every child and adult we engage with.
History
In 1998 five Muslim mothers in West London and Slough organised a home-schooling group for their young children aged between 3-5 years old. The following year mothers from North and East London joined in. This was the starting point of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation. As women from a huge variety of backgrounds, housewives, teachers and other professionals we engaged in a prolonged and thorough discussion of what we wanted to achieve. This discussion centred on the fundamental question which continues to guide our work: ‘What is Islamic education?’ We came to realise that the most valuable Islamic Education Model will not be a remedial solution to the problems faced by ‘minority’ communities. It will not add Islamic values and thought into existing contemporary models of education. This may be the easiest and most obvious way of proceeding, but it certainly will not lead to the desired outcomes we had set ourselves. The Islamic belief of the purpose of life is fundamentally in opposition to the secular belief. The secular education system therefore has fundamentally different goals to the Islamic education system. It is not sufficient to insert some Islamic aspects into secular systems. What is clear is that everything must be questioned, from the concept of school to the concept of the teacher and the curriculum and examined in light of Islamic educational principles of holism and character development.
We began to explore modern concepts and approaches to education along with the established Islamic principles. This has led to a synthesis of classical Islamic education with the modern approaches that reflect Islamic principles, resulting in a new and unique approach to primary education for Muslim children called ‘Shakhsiyah Education’.
As an organisation led by Muslim women we have a nurturing organic ethos rooted in the needs of the local community. Our efforts are led by a sincere niyyah and internal motivation as opposed to the dominant target driven ‘business’ culture. We believe strongly that this is a reflection of Islamic principles and seek to uphold this in our future development inshaAllah. Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation continues to engage in research and development by partnering with ongoing research

into halaqah as an Islamic pedagogy, shakhsiyah Islamiyah as a dialogical Muslim-self, and wider philosophy and practice if Islamic education at the University of Cambridge’s Faculty of Education.
Charity Activities and Achievements 2023-24
Principles of Shakhsiyah Education
Our ethos as an organisation is set out in a booklet that explains the principles of Shakhsiyah Education. This is an important resource for all staff and members of the public who wish to understand our educational theory. These principles guide the work of the schools and all other activities of the foundation.
Shakhsiyah Schools
Shakhsiyah schools continued their important work in educating young Muslim children with the educational philosophy of the principles of Shakhsiyah Education. The following achievements have been recorded for this year:
-
Secondary Material Change inspection approved by the Department of Education enabling the launch of GCSE classes for 14-16 year olds in Shakhsiyah School, Haringey.
-
A dedicated Science lab was installed to meet the needs of GCSE students.
-
A strongly managed transition meant that the Leadership Team were able to withstand the mid-year departure of the Executive Head teacher.
Shakhsiyah Curriculum, Courses and Consultancy
-
ISF now runs the Islamic Educator Learning Community (IELC) Platform hosted by Camtree at the University of Cambridge. This online platform supports the foundation’s work in relation to Object 3: “For the public benefit to advance the education of the public in the principles and practices of Holistic Islamic Education in general and the Shakhsiyah Education Framework in particular.” ISF has also licensed two online courses on using dialogic halaqah to develop shakhsiyah on the IELC platform from Cambridge Enterprise.
-
A new Curriculum and Consultancy Team was set-up to support the organisation's consultancy, produce curriculum resources for sale and manage IELC. Shakhsiyah Research and Resources has now been rebranded into Shakhsiyah Education Consultancy and Shakhsiyah Publications. Two short booklets were published.
-
A new website was launched and our social media presence is now stronger internationally.
-
- Our Director of Education engaged in speaking tours in the USA, Canada, Australia and Malaysia where the Principles of Shakhsiyah Education were well received by local Islamic schools and communities.
Future Plans for 2024-25
The foundation is seeking to do the following over the coming year:
Shakhsiyah Schools

Financial Review
The charity's accounts for the 12 months period ending 31 July 2024 show an income of £1,367,636 and expenditure of £1,361,365.
The major part of expenditure (over 50%) is spent on staff salaries. An amount of £783,145 was paid out as salaries for the school staff and training costs were £3,372. As the current buildings are rented, the rent, rates and service charges were £263,772 and the insurance and building maintenance amounted to £48,631. A detailed break up of all the expenses is given under notes to the financial statements.
Principle Funding Sources
The charity is mainly funded through school fees. These are well below the market rate in order to maintain public benefit. A secondary income is through funding from local authorities for early years provision. Income from the new Curriculum, Consultancy and Courses wings is thus far negligible. The charity also receives donations.
Banking and Legal Details
The charity has a main income and expenditure bank account held at Barclays Bank, Wood Green Branch. The charity also has three further savings accounts, maintained to deposit donations (including scholarship donations), held at Al Rayan Bank, Whitechapel branch.
Kingston Wells Accountants, 2nd Floor, The Porter Building, 1 Brunel Way, Slough, SL1 1FQ carry out accounting services for the charity.
Saleemi Associates (Chartered Accountants & Statutory Auditor) of 792 Wickham Road, Croydon, CR0 8EA were appointed as auditors to carry out the audit of the financial statements.
The charity takes legal advice from Kuddus Solicitors, 94 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1JQ.
Reserves Policy
It is the charity’s policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to at least one month’s unrestricted payments, equivalent to £80,000, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £ 399,370 held on unrestricted funds, at the yearend has met this requirement.
It is our policy to invest our funds balances on property or any low to moderate risk investments. All the investment decisions have to be authorised by all the trustees.

Investments
The charity had no investments during the accounting period. Donations are kept in a savings account with Al Rayan bank.
Financial Challenges
Concerns and Risks in the Present & Coming Year
-
Independent schools have been exempt from charging VAT on school fees, however this may well change with new government legislation that may come into force in the next academic year. This is likely to impact the number of children on roll as many families are unable to manage this payment.
-
Additional anticipated legislation would mean that independent schools may also have to pay full business rates, which will be a substantial additional cost.
-
Persistent issues with delayed and in some cases non-payment of fees, particularly in Shakhsiyah School, London, which has also seen a decrease in admissions since the pandemic is likely to be exacerbated with the application of VAT, and this will have a negative impact on the cash flow of both schools as school fees are ISF’s main sources of income
-
Building works are ongoing for Shakhsiyah School, Slough. There is a substantial cost which requires fundraising.
-
Further building Works for Shakhsiyah School, London are needed to meet the requirements for a 3-16 years school.
-
There was an ad hoc funding grant which was received in November 2023 of £92,185.70 which will not be paid in 2024-25.
Trustees are mindful of the above challenges in terms of the financial viability of each school. However, the charity has an unrestricted reserve of £399,370 which trustees believe is sufficient to support the Charity operations in near future.
Future Plans
The charity needs to put together a long-term strategy to increase income through diversifying its activities and generate regular amounts through planned fundraising. The charity is also considering opening a day-care provision in The Coach House which will cater for 2+ year’s olds and generate new income for the future. The charity also has plans to launch its own Curriculum, Courses and Consultancy in which the team produce curriculum resources for sale. The charity should consider investing any surplus funds to generate a profit. The charity will therefore need to develop an investment policy.
The Charity does not issue grants but does assist parents by reducing fees in hardship cases. This is determined through assessing parents’ income and needs. A scholarship linked to the charity has been set up in the name of Mustafa Ali Sadiq, to fund a small number of children to attend the school.
Mustafa Ali Sadiq Scholarship Fund
In July 2014, the foundation’s trustees agreed to the launch of the Mustafa Ali Sadiq Scholarship fund by the family of Mustafa Ali Sadiq. Mustafa was a student at Shakhsiyah schools who sadly died in June 2014 at the tender age of ten. His family is very grateful to the foundation for the support provided to them during this difficult year and to Shakhsiyah Schools in helping to develop a beautiful character in Mustafa, which enabled him to endure a terrible illness with patience and dignity. Thus, a pledge was made by the family to fund the education of another child in Mustafa’s memory as a

Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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 applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. 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.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION
Year ended 31 July 2024 Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities and Statement of Financial Position 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 July 2024 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 Charities Act 2011.
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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements is appropriate.
Our review revealed that the charity has experienced a significant decline in income during the financial year, leading to a decrease in net profit. While this indicates financial pressure, the trustees have evaluated the availability of unrestricted reserves and confirmed that there is a sufficient balance to support operations in case of a shortfall.
Additionally, the trustees have taken proactive measures to address the income shortfall by developing contingency plans, including the potential expansion of services aimed at generating additional revenue sources. These actions, coupled with the current level of unrestricted reserves, provide reasonable assurance that the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH
FOUNDATION (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2024
Emphasis of Matter – Prior Year Adjustments
We draw attention to Note 20 to the financial statements, which explains that the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2023 have been restated to correct material misstatements identified in respect of that year.
The restatement relates to the overstatement of trade debtors in prior year by £315,179, due to receivables being recognised in error.
In addition, a restricted donation of £500,000 originally recognised as income in the prior year, has been refunded in the current year after it was determined that the conditions attached to the donation could not be fulfilled.
Additionally, Property depreciation £10,995 has been moved from unrestricted fund to restricted fund.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity 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 in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees 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.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2024
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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. Based on our understanding of the Charity and its activities, we identified that the principle risk of non-compliance with law and regulations related to the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statements of Recommended Practice, UK tax legislation, pensions legislation, employment regulation and health and safety regulation, anti-bribery, GDPR, corruption and fraud, money laundering and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.
We evaluated the trustees’ and managements’ incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principle risk were related to manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions is significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to use of restricted funds, and significant one off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to those identified risks, including non-compliance with law and regulations (irregularities) and fraud that re material to the financial statements. Our audit procedure included but was not limited to:
-
Discussing with the trustees and management their policies and procedures regarding compliance with law and regulations;
-
Communicating identified laws and regulations throughout our engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
-
Considering the risk of acts by the Charity which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
-
Making enquiries of the trustees and management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks to fraud;
-
Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud; and
-
Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing journal entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description

This resulted in a restatement of net income in prior year by £815,179 and decrease in opening cash balance of year ended 31 July 2024. The opening cash for 2024 was restated to £340,243 from £1,155,422.

2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Land and buildings - 10% straight line Fixture and fittings - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Year ended 31 July 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
