Mr A DAGIA - Trustee -2- **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF AL-MA'RIFAH ACADEMY** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of AL-MA'RIFAH ACADEMY** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of AL-MA'RIFAH ACADEMY (the Trust) for the period 11th August 2021 to 31st August 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCCA which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust 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 have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## **INCOME** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## **EXPENDITURE** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## **TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS** Tangible fixed assets consists of freehold land and buildings. The cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. No depreciation is charged on freehold land and buildings. It is the opinion of the directors that the life of the assets are so long and their residual value so high, that any depreciation is insignificant. In accordance with FRS102, annual impairment reviews are undertaken to confirm this treatment. ## **TAXATION** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. ## **FUND ACCOUNTING** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. -6- **AL-MA'RIFAH ACADEMY** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE PERIOD 11TH AUGUST 2021 TO 31ST AUGUST 2022** ## **2.
