## **Independent Examiner's Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of East Anglian Bangladeshi Islamic Trust** 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). You consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report in accordance with the requirements of section 145 of the 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 under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 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 the 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** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025, which are set out on pages 5 to 12. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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 draw attention to Note 2, which explains that the prior-year comparative figures have been restated. My report is not qualified in this respect.

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

_for the year ended 30 September 2025_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

These financial statements have been prepared using the format and accounting policies appearing in the prior-year accounts, with reference to the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities and FRS 102. They have been prepared from the extended trial balance for the period 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025, supported by the Barclays bank transaction schedule for that period. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity. No restricted fund movements have been identified from the supplied records. 

## **Income recognition** 

Income is included when the charity becomes entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Receipts have been treated as donations and legacies unless their description clearly indicated otherwise. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised when incurred, and has been classified in accordance with the extended trial balance. VAT has not been separately analysed. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

The tangible fixed asset balance of £145,881 represents freehold property and has been carried forward unchanged from the prior year. No depreciation has been charged in the year. The trustees have confirmed that this balance remains correct. 

## **Debtors and creditors** 

Debtors comprise other debtors of £6,499 carried forward from the prior year, which the trustees have confirmed remain correct. Creditors at the year end comprise PAYE of £7.88. 

## **Charitable expenditure** 

Grants and donations payable to other charitable bodies are recognised as expenditure in the year in which the charity becomes committed to the payment. Amounts paid to Masjid Direct Ltd (£8,892.60) and British Red Cross (£70.00) have been charged as charitable/project costs in the year, as confirmed by the trustees. 

## **2 Prior-year comparative figures** 

The reserves brought forward per the charity's accounting records at 1 October 2024 are £186,488.10. The signed accounts for 30 September 2024 showed net assets of £181,101, comprising fixed assets of £145,881, debtors of £6,499, cash of £34,299 and creditors of £5,578 — a difference of £5,387.10. 

The trustees have confirmed that the reserves figure of £186,488.10 per the accounting records is correct, and that the difference relates to cash balances not fully reflected in the prior-year signed balance sheet. The 2024 comparative figures have accordingly been restated to increase cash at bank and in hand from £34,299 to £39,686.10, giving restated net assets and total funds of £186,488.10 at 30 September 2024. There is no effect on the reported result for the year ended 30 September 2024.
