The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

Cambridge Islamic College’s mission is to produce a generation of independent Islamic scholars and thinkers who are at the same time working professionals contributing to the wider British society. Cambridge Islamic College is committed to bridging the disconnect between mainstream secular education and specialised Islamic studies. It puts particular emphasis on attracting bright, capable students who are already professionals or on the way to becoming professionals. It expects its graduates to be active as role models in their communities, respected both for their knowledge of the religion and for the flexibility, realism, and independence of mind with which they apply it. In this way they will inspire others to combine the practice of Islam with a positive concern to use their personal and professional skills for the benefit of the whole society.

Cambridge Islamic College takes its students through a rigorous and critical study of the classical Islamic sciences and their sub-disciplines. Alongside the Islamic sciences, the contemporary challenges facing the world and Muslims in particular, are a core focus of the curriculum. Students are encouraged to develop an informed understanding of the shared and different values among Muslims and non-Muslims, and to cultivate the essentially religious virtue of respect and tolerance of others. That virtue is also the basis of civility and good citizenship, and the foundation of a cohesive society that embraces and enjoys its diversity.

The most basic function of education is to equip the young with the skills and knowledge that will enable them to participate fully in the human world that they inherit from the older generation and to live ‘a good life’. In recent times this function has come to be understood in the narrow sense of instruction that equips the young to be economically productive, that is, to earn a living. The religious underpinnings and values of ‘a good life’, such as mutual respect and caring, have come to be largely subordinated to economic activity. The negative outcomes of limiting education in this way are everywhere obvious and everywhere on the increase.

Cambridge Islamic College is dedicated to restoring the full meaning of education by offering an opportunity to study, comprehensively and critically, the syllabus of a classical education in the Islamic sciences sensitively adapted for our time. The core aims of the teaching program are:

To give students the necessary skills in reading and using both classical and modern Arabic. Without these skills they cannot expect to access the vast treasury of Islamic thought and culture, still less to benefit by interrogating it critically. Also, Arabic remains the common language among Islamic scholars from different parts of the world and is therefore essential for the exchange of perspectives and experiences.

To teach students the basic techniques and responsibilities of academic research, how to read sources critically, how to negotiate and evaluate arguments and counter-arguments, and how to build their own arguments through writing and speaking exercises

To enable students to read the Qur’an and Qur’anic commentary (tafsir) so that they understand how its teaching educates conscience and behaviour. They should be able to explain to others, as well as understand for themselves, how the guidance of the Qur’an relates to contemporary issues and circumstances.

To teach students the history and development of sira (the biography of the Prophet) and of the hadith sciences: emphasis will be placed on understanding when and how the major hadith compilations were recorded, how the material was assessed and interpreted to inform the norms and rules of individual and collective life, and its continued relevance today.

To give students a firm grasp of the major events in the evolution of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), the major schools of law, their commonalities and differences, and the good manners (adab) in managing plurality of legal opinion.

To help students think through some of the theological and philosophical controversies that have persisted in Islamic societies over the centuries and the cultural and political consequences of these controversies in terms of inter-sectarian and inter-religious polemic.

a. Key financial performance indicators

Net Income Growth – Minimum 10%

The Net Loss for the College has decreased from £162,903 in 2019 to £27,602 in 2020. The decline in loss is due to the additional revenue from full-time programmes, income from property and donations

Starting of full-time programmes

The College started 2 new full-time residential programmes in September 2018 – (1) Advanced Alimiyyah Degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies and (2) Arabic Language Mastery Programme. The first cohort of the Alimiyyah programme and the full Arabic programme was successfully completed in July 2020.

b. Achievement and Performance

Long-term Diplomas

College’s is continuing to offer its long term structured diploma programmes taught by its Dean, Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi and supported by a panel of 6 tutors.

Diploma in Introduction to Classical Islamic Texts is a diploma programme that was carefully designed and structured to give a thorough and meaningful introduction to the major classical Islamic texts related to the Qur'an, the Hadith, Fiqh, Usul al-Fiqh, Philosophy and Logic or the Refutation of Philosophy and Logic, and History. This programme was looking at the early Muslim scholars - the thinkers of Islam - and their works. Through the study of the great scholars, their great minds, their advanced methodologies and sophisticated work, students could begin to understand the true depth and breadth of real Islamic scholarship.

Diploma in Arabic and Islamic Studies was a two-year foundational/intermediate level course in Arabic and Islamic studies. It was designed to qualify participants for admission into the College’s full-time ‘Alimiyyah Islamic Scholarship Degree programme planned for September 2018, as well as for those who wished to achieve general competency in Arabic and Islamic studies. The course comprised of four components: Arabic language, hadith, fiqh and general Islamic studies. It was expected for this course to meet the basic needs of Muslims living in the West. By doing this course, alongside doing the national curriculum, the students will get a secure foundation on which they can build intelligent, informed practice of their religion, and from which they can proceed to further and deeper study of Arabic and of the Islamic sciences.

Diploma in Advanced Quranic Studies is a two-year intensive programme looking at how to study, understand and interpret the Qur’an based on Surah Al-Baqarah - the longest and most comprehensive surah in the Qur’an. This two-year course represents a serious commitment to go through tafsir (exegesis) of the surah in detail so that students can understand the breadth and depth of the message of the Qur’an. In addition to the tafsir the student will study many of the other sciences of the Qur’an as well as the principles of tafsir through this programme.

The College continues to offer these courses as an online offering via its Learning Management System to provide public benefit while also benefiting from a steady stream of income to support its activities. These accessed by students from all over the world in 220 cities in 40 countries.

Short-Term Online Diplomas

The College successfully revamped its online diploma programmes to make them more structured. The current offering is titled Diploma in Essential Islamic Sciences and is delivered under 3 levels for gradual progression.

These courses were repacked and now delivered under the DeepDeen.tv platform.

New Programmes

The College successfully completed one year of its full-time residential programmes which significantly boosted the image and the credibility of the College.

DEEPDEEN.TV

The College’s subscription-based video platform called DEEPDEEN.TV continues to cater for the general public who are interested in the lectures and courses at the College but are not committed to or does not have the time to formally study at the College. This platform serves the needs of the public and well as bringing in much needed revenue to the College..

College Building

The College building has been used to conduct our onsite classes, mainly the Alimiyyah and Arabic programmes.

The College’s adjoining 10-bedroom house at 56 Sturton Street was granted planning permission to convert the house to a 10-room HMO (House of Multiple Occupancy). Renovations were completed and rooms are rented out bringing in significant revenues to the College.

IT Systems

The College’s Learning Management System continued to help students to access lessons, tutorials, textbooks, exercises and exams remotely from anywhere in the world and to collaborate and discuss with tutors and fellow students to enhance their learning experience. The College continues its virtual classroom platform for live interactive video learning. The College continued to maintain its in-house capabilities to direct, record and produce professional quality video for its portfolio of online courses, saving significant costs in hiring third party production companies.

These systems continue to provide real value for the College by increasing efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and reducing costs.

Financial review

Going Concern

The accounts show net current liabilities at the year-end of £303,390 (2019: £501,485), the College has repaid £150,890 of the existing short-term loans during the past year.

A surplus for the year ended 31 August 2021 is expected from charitable activities. Moreover, the College has successfully launched its full-time residential programmes and launched DEEPDEEN.TV. These combined with rental income from the house and fundraising drives in different cities in the UK, the outlook into 2021 looks positive.

Because of the matters described above the Trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Policies on reserves.

Total gross income for the College this year is £496,095 (2019: £368,523). Total income is made up of charitable trading activities amounting to £167,710 and voluntary income of £428,385. Total expenditure for the year was £521,046. Net income/(deficit) for the year is (£24,951) (2019: (£162,903)). Total funds at the year-end were £420,452 (2019: £445,493).

At the year-end, the College had £86,388 funds in the bank after repayment of loans.

The College needs to maintain £110,000 reserve for 6 months of expenditure. Since the year-end the College has raised funds to meet the reserve requirements.

The college had free unrestricted reserves of approximately £417k (2019 £446k). The anticipated spending for the coming six months is expected to be £130k. The college reserves exceed the six month's spending by £287k. The college's funds are tied up in properties with a book value of approximately £2.1 million which the trustees consider are very important for the college's long term sustainability. The college has liabilities of approximately £1.78 million for which the trustees are working hard to raise funds through fundraising campaigns specifically targeted at raising funds to repay these liabilities. The excess of reserves is held to repay these liabilities.

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them.

Dependence on Voluntary Income

Last year voluntary income contributed to about 71% of the income. This year it has come down to 59%. This is due to the College is diversifying its charitable activities to include a variety of courses to cater for different audiences. Moreover, it is increasing its efforts on marketing to publicise its offering more widely through recruiting professional marketing staff and more volunteers. We look forward to reducing this dependency even further next year.

Short-Term Creditors

The ratio of short-term creditors has remained similar to last year. However there is still some risk for the College as the College would be required to repay these creditors at short notice. These creditors represent those who have advanced interest-free soft loans to the College. Some of whom have converted their loans to donations and others who have shown willingness to extend the loan period if required. The College is seeking to reduce short-term creditors by a combination of following strategies: (a) seeking to extend the loan period and convert them to long-term loans, (b) repay some of the loans through the income generated by voluntary income and charitable activities, and (c) work with the newly explored charitable foundations to seek funding to repay some of the short term loans.

COVID Pandemic - arising after 31st August 2019

The current pandemic has adversely affected the operations and finances of the College. Fundraising activities and revenue generating onsite courses had to be suspended because of the lockdown and ongoing restrictions. We furloughed some staff to reduce expenditure and terminated permanent contracts at the end of the current academic year. We have suspended full-time onsite courses for one year to review the situation.

However, the pandemic has also opened new avenues to expand our online offerings. We are currently working with digital marketing professionals both locally and overseas to tap into new markets. We are also developing new online courses and upgrading our online platforms. We plan to compensate for the lost revenues from onsite courses and fundraising activities via revenues from online offerings. In addition to that we are also launching digital fundraising campaigns to bring in extra revenue.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018), (The SORP),

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 14 to 33 for the year ended 31 August 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 19.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 10, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000, the charitable company's examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am an authorised member of insert the type of the professional body (eg Chartered Certified Accountants or Chartered Accountants etc ) on data sheet row 33, which is one of the listed bodies.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company 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 such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

12

Cambridge Islamic College

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-

The accounts of this charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006;

The gross income of the charitable company in the year ended 31 August 2020 appears to exceed the sum specified in Section 145(3) of the Act, namely £250000, and that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner in accordance with that section by virtue of my being a qualified member of insert the type of the professional body (eg Chartered Certified Accountants or Chartered Accountants etc ) on data sheet row 33;

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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;

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP).

We have examined documentation supplied by the trustees relating to remuneration paid to a trustee, and the Trustees intend contacting the Charity Commission for England & Wales for confirmation that the payments have lawfully been made. Such payments have been included in the acocunts on the assumption they are lawful and no adjustment has been made for any decision to the contrary that may be made in the future by the Charity Commission for England & Wales.

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 financial statements to be reached.

Cambridge Islamic College

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice

Going Concern

The accounts show net current liabilities at the year-end of £502,775 (2018: £153,169). However since then, in the year to 31st August 2020, the College has repaid £42,315 of the existing short-term bank loans and has continued to raise funds for the purposes of repaying loans. In addition, of the current liabilities,£31,236 (2018- £36,844) relate to payments in advance for course fees which by the time these accounts were approved, had been delivered and the funds taken to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year ended 31st August 2020.

A surplus for the year ended 31 August 2020 is expected from charitable activities. Moreover, the College has successfully launched its full-time residential programmes and launched DEEPDEEN.TV. These initiatives will hopefully sufficient funds for the college in the coming years through donations and tuition fees. combined with rental income from the house the outlook into 2020 looks positive.

Because of the matters described above the Trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.

Public Benefit

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

19

Cambridge Islamic College

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met.

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned,and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.

Donated goods, facilities and services

Donated services and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.

All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,(provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value.

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Cambridge Islamic College

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020

Allocating costs to activities

Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.

The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-

Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity. Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity. Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.

Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures

Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - give details

Volunteers

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note7.

The Strategic leadership, Senior management and IT infrastructure for the college are run solely by the trustees. These jobs require a high level of experience, qualification and serious commitment. The trustees believe that these services do not fall under general volunteer services and the college can not run the way it is running without them. In relation to these volunteers, the charity has therefore adopted the guidance set out in paragraphs 6.14, and 6.15 of the SORP and has measured the value to the Charity as the amount that the Charity would pay in the open market for an alternative item that would provide a benefit to the charity equivalent to the donated item.

In relation to other volunteers, the charity has followed the guidance in 6.18 and 6.19 of the SORP and has placed no notional value on the services provided.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over estimated useful lives.

Freehold premises 2 % straight line Plant and machinery 33.33 % straight line

A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors are measured at their payable amounts at the balance sheet date.

21

Cambridge Islamic College

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020

Financial instruments including cash and bank balances

Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements. There are no other financial instruments.

Pensions - defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

There are no significant implications of financial instruments for the financial well being of the charity.

7 The contribution of volunteers

The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, especially its trustees, which is much appreciated. One trustee is a full-time Executive Director. One trustee acts for a minimum of 4 days a week as Manager and Course Coordinator . One trustee acts for 2 days per week as an IT Consultant.

These people have worked in highly paid jobs in industry which they have left or scaled down to free themselves for the college. The amount the charity would expect to pay to provide an equivalent benefit in respect of these trustee volunteers is as set out in note 23.

The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements..

Cambridge Islamic College

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020

22 The purposes for which the funds as detailed in note 20 are held by the charity are:-

Unrestricted and designated funds:-

Unrestricted Revenue Funds

These funds are held for the meeting the objectives of the charity, and to provide reserves for future activities, and , subject to charity legislation, are free from all restrictions on their use.

Restricted funds:-

Property repayment fund

This represents funds donated under Zakat whereby every Muslim having about £3000 in savings is required to donate 2.5% of his wealth for charitable causes. The funds are to be used for the purposes of repaying loans borrowed for the property purchase.

In the current year, £24,863 of these funds were used to repay part of the property loans. As these funds have been utilised for their restricted purposes, an amount of £24,863 was accordingly transferred from restricted to unrestricted funds.

23 Ultimate controlling party

The charity is under the control of its legal members who are the trustees in office from time to time.

Every member of the charity is obliged to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £10 to the assets of the company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
