Darul Hadis Latifiah Foundation

Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 August 2024

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

• To advance the education of the pupils at Darul Hadis Latifiah and other educational institutions throughout the country by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at these educational institutions.

• The advancement of the religion of Islam for the benefit of the public in accordance with the tenets and doctrines of Holy Qura’n and Sunnah of the prophet Hadrat Muhammad (SAW), in particular but not exclusively by providing Islamic studies alongside a full Secondary School National Curriculum.

The objects are achieved by the operation of DARUL HADIS LATIFIAH School, the principal activity of which is providing education for boys. Education is provided on the basis of the British National Curriculum in an environment that is conducive to their Islamic faith.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Governors do not identify any potential detriment or harm arising from the educational activities of the School and they provide an assurance of their commitment to safeguard and protect the welfare of the pupils. Similarly, they seek to engender a culture that welcomes diversity and inclusivity.

The Governors remain confident in the School’s continuing ability to deliver the objects set out in its constitution. Darul Hadis Latifiah continues to be financially robust, though the Board is very conscious of the potential risks. Liquidity remains strong and has been further enhanced by an increased number of parents making use of the School’s long-standing Fees in Advance Scheme.

The budget for the current period, the activity planned and the current and forecast level of cash holding, the Governors are fully confident that the School remains a going concern.

Public Benefit

In setting the School’s objectives and planning activities, the Governors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The Governors’ policy, in line with our objectives is to work in close collaboration with the local community, develop and deliver extended school activities in support of the needs and aspirations of local community.

The School attains excellent results not only in academic subjects but also in the areas of our extended school education programme.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Financial Review

Financial Position

Overall the year can be viewed in positive terms and, encouragingly, the outturn was improved on early forecasts. This was a reflection of three main factors: a slight increase in fee income over forecast, improvements to letting income and the delivery of several operating cost savings.

As forecast, the pupil roll in the school remained relatively constant, though overall there was a minor increase in numbers. The Governors remain aware of the sensitivities of cost and continue to make every effort to minimise fee increases in order to retain parental confidence and pupil numbers, while still delivering a first class pupil experience.

Reserves Policy

1. Purpose of the Policy

The purpose of this Financial Reserves Policy is to ensure that Darul Hadis Latifiah Foundation (“the Foundation”) maintains an appropriate level of unrestricted reserves to protect its core educational activities and ensure long-term financial stability. This policy provides a clear framework for determining, monitoring, and reviewing reserves in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance (CC19: Charity Reserves – building resilience).

2. Definition of Reserves

For the purposes of this policy, reserves are defined as that part of the Foundation’s unrestricted funds which are freely available for use by the trustees in furtherance of the charity’s objectives.

Darul Hadis Latifiah Foundation Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Darul Hadis Latifiah Foundation For The Year Ended 31 August 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Darul Hadis Latifiah Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2024.

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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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 contents 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.
