The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts - 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 weather particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the 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 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 examiners 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 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. ## **Independent Examiner** **Signature** : **Mr Dawood Masood AFA, MIPA Date: 08/07/2024** 5 ||Charity name|Charity name|No (if any)|No (if any)|**CC16a**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**Centre For Muslim Policy**
