Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Charities Act requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity.

-
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act.

The Anwar Foundation Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 29 February 2024
I report on the financial statements of the Charity on pages 6 to 9 for the year ended 29 February 2024 which have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis. A Receipts and Payments basis does not account for debtors, creditors, accruals and prepayments, but such a presentation is permitted by law for smaller charities.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As described on page 3, the Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees are satisfied 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 governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the accounts be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
b) To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5))(b) of the Act; and;
c) To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent 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 you as trustees concerning such matters.
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 consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts 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 obtain 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, in connection with my examination, I can confirm that this is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commission under subsection (5)(b) of that section which are applicable;
and that, no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act;
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act;
have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in my report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached;
