The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2021.

## **Report of the Trustees of International Liberty Association- CIO For the financial year ended 31st January 2021**
## _**Humanitarian Aid for Refugees:**_
- Help to provide food and other essential daily needs for refugees during the year.
- Help to provide medical requirements for refugees, covering the costs of medical needs of seriously ill refugees, including medication, hospitalisation and surgical operations, medical treatments and equipment.
## _**Accommodation for Refugees:**_
- Help to provide accommodation and standard living conditions for refugees in Albania.
- Help to provide infrastructure and centres of health care and nursing services for refugees.
- Because of the pandemic, we were not able to arrange any visits during the year for the Charity’s supporters or for trustees to visit the refugees, but we have kept monitoring the progress of various projects that the Charity supported and managed to connect the supporters with the refugees by online and virtual meetings.
## **The Charity’s financial situation**
- Last year, in spite of the Corona virus pandemic, the Charity’s dedicated volunteers adopted new fundraising activities with online and telephone campaigns. During these, the trustees and volunteers applied all the fundraising procedures and regulations recommended by the Fundraising Regulator.
- The income of the Charity in comparison to the previous financial year had an increase of about £298,400.00.
- More than 96 percent of the income was spent on the Charity’s approved projects.
- By implementing measures for reducing expenses, the organisation’s total operating cost was around 3.8 percent of its revenue, making ILA one of the most efficient charities.
- Before the pandemic, the trustees anticipated that in the coming year growth of income could be achieved, even after new restrictions on the work of volunteer fundraisers has been implemented in order to better monitor and apply the regulations stipulated in the Code of Fundraising Practice. However the emergence of the corona virus pandemic has caused a new obstacle which must be managed carefully if the level of income is to be sustained.
- Considering all the above issues, the Charity put all its efforts to support as many projects as possible in line within the Charity’s objectives, especially during the pandemic.
## _**Reserves policy and financial status**_
The Charity’s reserves policy is to keep enough accessible funds in hand to meet the commitments of various responsibilities for at least the following month. With this in mind, although the Charity’s assets and cash-inhand in balance sheets for the year represent less than its liabilities, the trustees, by considering the nonimmediate payments and liabilities of long-term loans and loans which are payable in instalments during the next financial year, decided to take on more needed projects.
## _**Risk assessment – Parameters that may cause difficulties for the Charity to continue its work**_
Based on the evaluations and actions undertaken by the trustees, our estimate is that there is a risk with regard to the ability to meet the Charity’s commitments. This is mainly due to the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our activities have been reduced, face-to-face meetings have stopped, and we only conduct fundraising by telephone and online. Given the strength of our Charity, which relied on volunteers meeting with potential donors face to face, there is a chance that our income would be further reduced this year, and we have to adjust our commitments accordingly.

## **Report of the Trustees of International Liberty Association- CIO For the financial year ended 31st January 2021**
## **Data Protection Legislation**
The trustees have taken necessary actions in implementing laws and regulations regarding the GDPR and data protection act and will continue to comply with the Charity Commission regulations and the law in this regard.
## **Public benefit**
In running the Charity, the trustees have complied with their duty under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. By promoting human rights worldwide, the Charity performs an enormous public benefit. The activities that the Charity has carried out to achieve this have been covered in detail earlier in this report.
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
- The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the 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).
- The law applicable to charities in England & 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 income and expenditure 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 judgments and accounting 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 a going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
- The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which 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/constitution. 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.

**International Liberty Association Independent Auditors ’ Report To the Trustees of International Liberty Association**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of International Liberty Association (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 January 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, statement of cash flows 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 Charityʼs affairs as at 31 January 2021 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
•have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
•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 Auditorʼs 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 FRCʼs 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 of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorʼs report thereon. 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

**International Liberty Association Independent Auditors ’ Report To the Trustees of International Liberty Association**
on the work we have performed, we 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 environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual 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:
- •sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
- •the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- •we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
## **Responsibilities of the trustees**
As explained more fully in the trusteesʼ 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 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charityʼs 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.
## **Our 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 auditorʼs 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
- The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
9
**International Liberty Association Independent Auditors ’ Report To the Trustees of International Liberty Association**
- We obtained an understanding of the environment that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements.
- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable accounting standard.
- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Councilʼs website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorʼs report.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the Charityʼs trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charityʼs trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charityʼs trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**International Liberty Association Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 January 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 - effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102).
International Liberty Association meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
## **b) Reconciliation with previously Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP)**
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was not required.
## **c) Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about International Liberty Association's ability to continue as a going concern. This is because other creditors and lenders, both short and long term, have pledged not to seek repayment of their loans for the foreseeable future. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
## **d) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
## **e) Donations of gifts, services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## **f) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **g) Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

**International Liberty Association Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 January 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds comprise of trading costs and the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.
- Expenditure on charitable activities including, Human Rights projects, delivering Humanitarian Aids and Support for Refugees and educational activities, the costs of delivering services and their associated support costs.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
- **i) Allocation of support costs** Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel and governance costs which support ILA's charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5.a.
## **j) Operating leases**
Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## **k) Tangible fixed assets**
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Office equipment 25% straight line Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
## **l) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **m) Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and bank deposit or similar account.
## **n) Creditors and provisions**
- Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **o) Financial instruments**
- The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **p) Pensions**
The charity does not operate employees' pension schemes.
