Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The charity is governed by its constitution adopted on 24 February 2016.

Governing body

The charity is governed by Trustees, which consists of 10 members directly elected by the general public through a ballot. The ultimate responsibility to run the organisation lies with the Trustees.

Risk management

Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all bank transactions by a Trustee. Any transactions over £1,000 are to be authorised by 2 Trustees.

Objectives and activities

Primary activity and public benefit

The principal activity of the charity is to advance the Muslim religion in the Stockton On Tees area for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals and the distribution of literature on the Islamic faith to enlighten others about the Muslim religion. The charity proposes to do this by building a new mosque on the land already existing for the above purpose and to adopt appropriate strategies to accomplish this task.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Objectives and activities (continued)

Membership

Every Muslim in the area who agrees with the basic aims of the organisation can become its member. It is necessary to pay annual contributions to the mosque fund regularly to remain a member. Every permanent member has a right to take part in elections.

Achievements and performance

The Charity has continued to operate towards the Objects set out in the clause. These include the main activities of catering towards the religious needs of the people of Stockton on Tees and the provision of educational activities.

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular, the supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. The Trustees are confident that the operations of the Charity as set out in the Objects deliver public benefit to the wider community of Stockton on Tees.

The level of donations in 2019/20 was pleasing, especially given the economic climate. The Charity incurred significant costs in respect of building a new Mosque.

Charity policies

The Charity does not have any investments. There were no grants made during the period.

The only reserves held by the Charity are the funds in the current account. There is no set policy on the level of income reserves held other than to maintain any surpluses left from donations for the furtherance of its Objects.

The reserves are likely to be utilised by potential repairs to the building and the day-to-day running of the Charity.

Financial review

The charity's policy is to retain reserves, in the form of unrestricted funds, at no specific level other than to maintain any surpluses left from donations for the furtherance of its Objects. This should provide a reasonably secure financial base on which to plan future projects and commit to related expenditure before external funding has been fully secured. The general fund shows an excess of incoming over outgoing resources of £7,083 during the year, while the balance sheet shows aggregate reserves of £2,046,399 at 31 March 2021.

The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. The Trustees are satisfied with the overall financial position of the charity and can confirm that the charity has the resources to fully discharge its obligations.

Risk statement

It is confirmed that the major risks identified by the Trustees have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of FAROOQ E AZAM MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Year ended 31 March 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of FAROOQ E AZAM MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

FAROOQ E AZAM MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Bowesfield Lane, Stockton on Tees, TS18 3EB.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure exemptions

Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented as all were considered basic.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

FAROOQ E AZAM MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 20% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution plans (continued)

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
