FINANCIAL AND OPERATION REVIEW
Review of Activities and Achievements
Iqraa Foundation was registered as a charity on 24th October 2017.
Since its inception it has carried out several community activities for children and adults. It also organised educational classes for children in Islamic studies.
Iqraa's objective is to use sports and recreational activities to encourage the youth to stay away from crime. In this connection Iqraa trains the youngsters in football and in this regard Iqraa's football team was quarter finalist in the Ethiopian Sport and Cultural Federation Cup in 2022
Iqraa organised monthly lectures for both female and male members on religious and social matters
During Covid-19 the Foundation used Zoom meeting to reach out to its members and run all its lectures online. It was vital to use the social media to meets of its its members .and to avoid the risk of members being isolated which could lead to depression.
It is the aim of the foundation to raise funds to purchase its own premises to run its programmes
During the year, the foundation used Zoom to organised training, fundraising and promotional activities with a view to raising awareness of the foundation and to raise funds towards the purchase of a community centre.
Future Developments
The foundation intends to continue with its fundraising and promotional activities.
Risk Analysis
The Trustees of the foundation make every effort to ensure that the potential for financial and operational risk is reduced to the barest minimum by maintaining strict oversight through regular financial management reports, putting financial guidelines in place for staff, conducting regular financial health checks and introducing a new financial management information system for effective tracking of income and expenditures.
Method of appointing trustees
Board members are generally nominated and then elected at arm's length based on their background, experience and relevance to the foundation's objectives. When a vacancy arises on the board and a skill is identified, nominees may then be nominated to the board. Induction of new board members and training of existing members are conducted at quarterly intervals each year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF IQRAA FOUNDATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
I report on the accounts of the Iqraa Foundation for the year ended 31 October 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts represented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: * to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
