Notes to the Annual Accounts
for the year ended 28 February 2025
1. Basis of preparation
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historic cost (except that investments are shown at market value) in accordance with Charities SORP (FRS 102); and with the Charities Act.
2. Accounting policies
INCOMING RESOURCES
Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (“SoFA”) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Valuation of Investment Portfolio
The portfolio is shown at market value, including re-invested income net of fund management fees. Any change in the valuation, based on unrealised gains or losses are shown in the unrealised gains/losses reserve.
EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Independent examiner’s report
on the Accounts of the Yusef Foundation for the year ended 28 February 2025
I report to the trustees of The Yusef Foundation (charity number: 1157439) on the accounts for the year ended 28 February 2025 set out on pages 2 – 5 of this report.
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 period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
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 Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
