## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Name and Registered Office of the Charity** 

The full name of the Charity is Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi (School of Islamic Sufism), its registered office and principal operating address is 23 Edison Road, Crouch End, London, N8 8AE. It is part of the global organisation with the same name (the global organisation hereinafter referred to as MTO). 

## **Charity Financial Statements** 

In preparing the financial statements for the Charity, the Trustees have adopted the disclosures required by the "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)". The financial statements comply with the trust deeds and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects are to establish the teaching, practice and advancement of the Islamic religion and education in the United Kingdom and elsewhere around the world in accordance with the tenets and doctrines of Sufism as practiced by MTO. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The Charity was formed to take over the activities of the registered Charitable Trust 1010542 which has the same objects and name as this Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The transfer of operations which started at the end of 2014 has continued with only a few remaining with the Trust. 

The CIO is continuing the work of the Trust in promoting Sufism and education as a part of MTO. This involves a programme of lectures and classes in the UK including the ability to host webcasts from London to students throughout the world. These compliment the broadcasts of related MTO centres elsewhere in Europe and from the United States. The Charity will encourage the development of Sufism at Universities and other educational institutions in the UK and to promote inter-faith activities in local communities. 

Weekly lectures were cancelled in February 2020 ahead of national lockdowns and in preparation for underpinning works. Following approval from the local council, lectures in the London centre have resumed in person with limited numbers, social distancing and mask wearing as of October 2021. 

Following the ground movement monitoring of the building in London, a project management firm was appointed to oversee the necessary remedial works. Tender documents were prepared based on design drawings and 3 contactors were sent an invitation to Tender.  With further mid and post tender meetings held with the project manager, construction company, structural engineers and Trustees. Following the various preparatory work, building repairs commenced on 18th May 2020 and were completed in November 2020. 

The Charity took part in several charitable projects in line with the wider MTO Global covid-19 response. This included the making and distribution of PPEs to hospitals, care homes and schools in the UK as well as donations of non perishable foods and clothing. The Charity was also involved with the Caring for our Caregivers initiative and donated tablets preloaded with Tamarkoz® meditation exercises to hospitals to provide stress relief. 

The Charity managed and launched the Zendeh Delan music project for 2020, producing a CD box set and vinyl with 63 tracks to accompany the practice of Tamarkoz® and Movazeneh®. 

As part of a volume of books on the chronology of the MTO Sufi Masters (Aghtab) The Charity facilitated the publication and distribution of Aghtab 12 (on the life of Hazrat Shahmaghsoud).

## **MAKTAB TARIGHAT OVEYSSI SHAHMAGHSOUDI (SCHOOL OF ISLAMIC SUFISM)** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

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 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 year. 

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 sufficient 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 2008 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. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF MAKTAB TARIGHAT OVEYSSI SHAHMAGHSOUDI (SCHOOL OF ISLAMIC SUFISM)** 

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 6 to 17. 

## **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  Charities Act), and that an independent examination is needed . The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to underake the examniation by being a qualified member of the  Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales . 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under the Charities Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- (i) examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- (iii) 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - (ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; 

   - have not been met or 

- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
