Funds structure policy

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the EC in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance working capital.

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for a particular purpose, and it is the policy of the EC to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them. This current year, the charity did not receive any restricted funding.

Capital grants

The EC consider that in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (SORP 2005, SORP 2007 and Charities SORP 2019), gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature given for specific purposes and fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity should be credited to the relevant fixed asset fund after the sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose. The related asset is shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.

SAFEGUARD ACADEMY CIO Trustess' Report

Reserve Policy

The Members of the Executive Committee (EC) have established a policy of reserve, whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be equivalent to at least £10,000 in general funds. At this level, the EC feels that they should be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant decrease in funding. It would also be necessary to consider how decrease in such funding would be replaced or activities changed.

Although at present, the unrestricted reserves reach this target, but the trustees are considering ways in which additional unrestricted funds may be raised.

Principal funding sources and how expenditure in the year under review has supported the key objectives of the charity.

The principal funding sources are general donations received from the users of the charity and a small amount will be received from Gift Aid. The funding supports the employment of members of staff who carry out the work of co-ordinating the engagement of charity's policy and decision making, building the capacity of the charity with voluntary and community sector organisations and promoting community cohesion and equality and countering extremism.

Independent Examiners' report on the accounts of SAFEGUARD ACADEMY CIO

To the Executive Committee of SAFEGUARD ACADEMY CIO

We have carried out independent examination of the accounts of Shahjalal Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre, Croydon for the period ended 31 October 2025 Which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses and the related notes and Statement of Financial Activities. These have been reviewed by third party qualified accountants to mitigate any conflict of interest.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (as amended), FRS 102 (The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland), and the Charities SORP (FRS 102)

Scope

This report is made solely to the organisation's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an examination 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 company and the company's members as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The terms of our engagement exclude any requirement to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the risks of material misstatement, a consideration of fraud, laws, regulations and internal controls, and we have not done so. We are not required to, and we do not, express an audit opinion on these accounts.

Respective responsibilities of ECM and the independent examiners

The charity’s ECMs is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s ECM consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145(1)(a) of the Charities Act 2011; follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiners’ report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the ECM and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as ECM concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Conclusion - Independent Examiner's statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with s41 of the 1993 Act; and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2006 Act have not been met; or

(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
