Independent Examiner’s report To the trustees of Muslim Association of Nigeria (UK)
I report on accounts of the association for the period ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As described on page 4 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 1444(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;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
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 Commissioners. An 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 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 the course of 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 to comply with the accounting 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.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Principal accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost accounting rules as modified by the inclusion of fixed asset investments at market value and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. In preparing the financial statements the charity follows best practice as set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice, the Charities SORP 2005 (Accounting and Reporting by Charities) and comply with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations issued under the Charities Act 2011.
Funds accounting
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds, which the trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects.
Restricted funds are funds, which have been given for particular purposes and projects. The restricted fund must be used wholly to rebuild existing mosque or acquire new premises or land to build a purpose build Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre. Expenditure incurred in relation to the restricted funds is calculated in accordance with the claims for funding made by the charity to achieve it’s purpose.
Incoming resources
The income figure represents cash donations and grants from the public sector, companies, charitable foundations and private individuals received during the year. Income relating to specific periods is apportioned over the accounting periods to which it relates. All other income is recognised when received. Restricted income is used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors.
Bank interest

Resources expended
Expenditure is charged on an accrual basis, inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. The costs of activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects include the costs directly incurred in providing activities together with support costs. Support costs primarily related to the employment of staff involved in the delivery of service and the maintenance of premises and equipment in use. Where costs cannot be directly attributable to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Other overheads have been allocated on the basis of the headcount.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £200 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.
Depreciation is not charged on freehold building as the residual value is considered to be higher than the carrying value. Furniture and equipment is written down using reducing balance method of depreciation over their estimated useful economic lives.
Taxation
The association is a registered charity and accordingly is exempt from taxation on its income and gains where they are applied for charitable purposes.
