The Trustees are required to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees confirm that suitable accounting policies have been used and applied consistently. They also confirm that reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2024 and that applicable accounting standards have been followed.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Laws & regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Structure, Governance and Management – Governing document
The charity is controlled by the Governing document, a deed of trust. The Trust follows the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993Act).
Risk Management

Independent Examiner’s Report to The Trustees of NURUL HUDA CIO for the period ended 31 December 2024
We have prepared the financial statements of NURUL HUDA CIO for the period ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out therein.
This report is made solely to the trustees, as a body. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner
The trustees’ responsibilities for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) are set out in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities.
The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 and that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied our self that the charity is not subject to audit under Charities Act 1993 and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to:
-
Examine the financial statements under Section 43 of the 1993 Act
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993Act) and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of the independent examiner’s report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general direction given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner’s Statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with Charities Commission and Charity Act 2011, and
-
To prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records, comply with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), Accounting and reporting by Charities have not been met: or
