THE QURAN TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 24 MARCH 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 24 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims for the public benefit
The objective of the charity is the advancement of the Islamic faith. In setting our objective and planning our activities the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance for the advancement of religion. The benefit provided to the public by this charity cannot be measured in terms of monetary measurement or statistics but in terms of the wider well-being of society. To those on the receiving end of this benefit it is priceless.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The trustees are confident that the level of donations the charity will continue to receive, will enable it to meet its objectives over the foreseeable future. During the year, the charity received donations totalling £69,190 (2020: £54,579) and made payments of £83,648 (2020: £45,000) in support of its charitable activities
Principal funding sources
The principal funding source for the charity is by voluntary donation.
Investment policy and objectives
It is the policy of the board to be risk averse in the stewardship of its resources.
Reserves policy
The board considers that its free reserves should always be sufficient to cover the services required for at least the following twelve months. As the overheads of the charity are modest, a significant part of its income can be used for beneficiaries and only a small balance retained in reserves, subject to the above constraint.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, its memorandum and articles of association dated 24 October 2014, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The liability of members is limited to £1.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The recruitment and appointment of new trustees rests with the board of directors who are the trustees, and they may also remove trustees should they become unfit to continue in office.
Organisational structure
The trust is controlled by the trustees. No trustee receives any remuneration for their services. The day to day running of the charity is dealt with by Mr Y A Bux.
Induction and training of new trustees
Training is provided on an ongoing basis and upon commencement for new trustees.
Related parties
The trustees consider that they themselves have the power to exert significant influence over the charity. The trustees are also trustees of the following charities : The Matliwala Family Charitable Trust ; the Matliwala Darul Aloom Charitable Trust ; the Matliwala Relief Trust ; the Matliwala Charitable Trust ; the Matliwala Education Society ; and the Preston Muslim Society. The trustees are also directors of the following companies : Bux Limited ; Bux and Co Limited ; and Matliwala Asset Management Limited.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE QURAN TRUST
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Quran Trust ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 24 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial assets which include bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price, and are subsequently carried at cost. Basic financial liabilities which include creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently carried at cost.
