THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Centre is continuing its cooperation with Isesco in Rabat, Alecso in Tunisia, Institute of Arabic Manuscripts, Al-Azhar in Cairo, Muslim World League in Makkah, Ministry of Islamic Affairs in Riyadh, International Islamic Fiqh Academy in Jeddah, and the Imam Tirmizi Cultural Centre in Uzbekistan.

Our involvement with governmental and non-governmental bodies and other organisations is done mainly with the idea of providing a better service to the British society. To promote integration, improve the engagement with the Muslim Communities, and supporting charitable works in the U.K and abroad, we receive Lords, members of Parliament, the CEO of the Charity Commission and senior members of the Police and Home Office.

The Education unit is carrying on business with more than 400 students in the Weekend School. Classes were again oversubscribed. Courses of Arabic for Non-speakers and different Islamic studies in different languages have received a great response since we re-started them.

The ICC established the Commission of Fatwa and Islamic Affairs (CFIA) whose purpose is to address family problems, inheritance cases and issuing fatwas related to the cases that apply to Muslims in the UK. The Commission is chaired by the Director General. Many of the Muslim community in the UK, and abroad, have started to benefit from its services. We have also received referrals from official bodies in Muslim countries to collaborate with them on certain issues/ judgements. The CFIA aims to cover most important issues that lack a proper service for the Muslim community such as family matters, inheritance cases, wills, arbitration according to the Islamic values. The CFIA provide advice to these individuals ensuring they take into consideration and respect the law of the land.

We aim to make the London Central Mosque & the Islamic Cultural Centre a place where Muslims can grow in their faith peacefully as citizens of a multi-cultural society in the U.K. An essential part of our work is therefore, with the wider society.

A great number of visitors and hundreds of schools, as part of their multicultural studies, visit the Mosque annually, as do University students of theology, social studies etc. We organise guided tours with an introduction to the principles of Islam upon request.

Interfaith dialogue is an important component of our activities to raise the level of understanding and good relations among faith followers in one society, and we also publish (since 1954) a prestigious academic journal, "The Islamic Quarterly".

Knowledge is at the heart of our religion and the library was always intended to be a centre for the study of Islam and is open five days a week. The library continues its service for the public since it was refurbished.

The London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre is constantly looking to find ways to reform its services, with its limited resources, to cater for the ever increasing and changing demands of the British Society.

There is more to do

We would like to offer the community the sort of experience we and they would want. We are working in partnership with the voluntary organisations, local authorities and governmental bodies and other organizations. We have established relationship with other bodies locally, nationally, and internationally with the aim of furthering our objectives.

The London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre as a charity is constantly trying, based on our ability, to contribute more to social services and activities promoting women, helping poor individuals, refugees, orphans, and families especially in the economic circumstances now in the U.K.

Fundraising activities

The charity is not registered with either the Fundraising Regulator or the Fundraising Institute. The charity has raised £1,083,874 through voluntary donations which were collected through 3 main sources:

1. Online Donations through the website

2. Collection boxes on the premises to collect cash donations

3. Direct Donations received through the bank

Fundraising from individuals is carefully controlled following internal guidelines and all public donations involve individuals directly approaching the Charity. No professional fundraisers were used during the year. Instead, the Head of Finance is responsible for overseeing compliance with regulations and best practice. There are no complaints recorded and no cold calling has taken place.

Financial review

The charity had net incoming resources in 2022 of £131,820 (2021: -£80,342). There were gains on investments of £136,596 (2021: gains of £83,510).

Structure, governance, and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and not having share capital.

The London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre is trustee of the trusts relating to the property at 146 Park Road, London NW8, known also as Regent's Lodge, where the London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre are situated, and also acts as trustee to two charities jointly registered with the Charity Commissioners (Registration No. 231920), The London Central Mosque (Algame) Fund and the London Nizamiah Mosque Trust.

The London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre was established in 1944 with two of its objectives being the building of a mosque and the founding of a cultural and religious centre in London for the Muslim community of Great Britain. In 1945, following an offer made on behalf of the Crown by the Commissioners of Crown Lands, the London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre became trustee of Regent's Lodge, and since that date has organised religious and cultural activities on the site, while seeking to obtain funding necessary for the construction of a mosque. After a donation from HM King Faisal of Saudi Arabia construction commenced in 1973, and in 1978 the main building complex was completed. Another building for administration was added in the site during the 90's of the 20th Century through the donation of HM King Fahad of Saudi Arabia. After 2001 the boundary wall was built with the donation of H.M. Sultan Qaboos of Oman, and the front gate with a donation from H.R.H Sh. Hamad Al Thani, Amir of Qatar.

Under the terms of the Memorandum of Association of the London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre, it may also act as trustee of any other trust relating to matters concerned with the Muslim faith. In the event of the company winding up, every member of the Council of Management undertakes to contribute to the assets of the London Central Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre an amount not exceeding £1 each.

The Trustees, being ambassadors of some different Muslim countries, and the director general are only appointed and recruited by the Trustees themselves at a meeting with approval of the chairman. Reports and leaflets are sent to Trustees for training every time.

The senior management team is made up of:

1. H.E. Shaikh Fawaz Bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, The Bahraini ambassador; as chairman

2. VACANT - Deputy Chairman.

3. HRH Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, The Saudi ambassador; as Treasurer

4. Dr Ahmad Al Dubayan, the Director General, as Executive Director.

The Director General, being a Trustee, was appointed to manage the day to day running and management of the Centre on behalf of the Board of Trustees. He is responsible for overall strategic planning, policies, project development and management of all staff, externally seconded staff, volunteers, and service providers.

The members of the Board give their time freely and derive no benefit, apart from those disclosed under Note 10 in the accounts.

Based on the missions of the Centre, the Centre and its management face some risks and challenges such as:

• Shortage of finance and resources. The Director General is working with the Chairman and the Treasurer to secure more finance with the help of the trustees.

• Preventing any form of misunderstanding or misinterpretation of faith, which could lead to radicalisation or intolerance. Our director general, imams and teachers are giving talks after prayers, speeches, lectures, courses, and trainings. We do not allow members of the public to give talks. It is our mission to establish and develop education at all levels to encourage greater understanding of Islam and its role in society.

• Ensuring security of the British society around the Centre by installing CCTV Cameras all around and inside the building. We do not allow fund raising in the premises from any outsiders; Our work with the Police to stop the public from collecting money on the pavements on Friday when about 5,000 people use the facilities of the Centre have been hugely successful. The mission to help secure safety and security of the worshippers and visitors, still more needs to be done and to avoid any possibility of attacks on the worshippers and the building: The Centre uses the service of a private security firm, which was extended many years ago to twenty-four hours per day. The number of security men and hours have been increased, despite limited resources. We coordinate with the Police and the local authorities for huge congregations on Eid days and weekly Friday prayers which are attended by some five thousand (5,000) worshippers. There is a huge Police presence on that day.

Risk management

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overseeing of the risks faced by the charity. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Director General. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis. Risk is managed under the headings of financial sustainability, projects, and events.

Through the risk management processes established for the charity, the Board are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Investment policy

The Charity's investment policy is to maintain the value of investments, and the trustees regard long term capital growth, rather than the production of a good income, as its prime objective.

Reserve policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to four months' expenditure of approximately £390,000. Furthermore, such reserves take into consideration the future refurbishment work that will be carried on during the next year. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year and at the year end free reserves were £2,473,670.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.

Auditor

In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that HW Fisher LLP be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

On behalf of the Council of Management.

Trustee Director General

THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The London Central Mosque Trust Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Council of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Council of Management with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Council of Management are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

• the information given in the Council of Management's report, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the directors' report included within the Council of Management's report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the Council of Management's report.

• 8 -

THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

• the Council of Management were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Council of Management's report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of Council of Management

As explained more fully in the Statement of Council Of Management's Responsibilities, the Council of Management, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Council of Management are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Council of Management either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

As part of our planning process:

• We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud.

• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity (The Charities SORP, FRS 102, The Companies Act 2006).

• We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.

• Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:

• Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.

• Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.

• Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.

• Testing revenue for evidence of management bias.

• Performing a physical verification of key assets.

• Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.

• Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions.

• Reviewing the minutes of the Council of Management.

• 9 -

THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF THE LONDON CENTRAL MOSQUE TRUST LIMITED

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the those charged with governance of the entity.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Company information

The London Central Mosque Trust Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 146 Park Road, London, NW8 7RG.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)”. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

The Council of Management have continued to closely monitor any ongoing effects from the Covid-19 pandemic on the entity. There has been a rise in income this year due to the Mosque being open all year round, and the recovery of voluntary donations received and rent. The Council of Management are still taking steps to restore the charity's reserves through various measures including attracting donations through the entity’s online platform, allowing visitors to donate via contactless payment machines and more. The measures the Council of Management have taken have proven to be successful and although there has been a slight disruption to the charity’s activities the Council of Management are confident that the charity can continue as a going concern and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate free reserves and resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the discretion of the Council of Management in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Designated funds reflect the funding of the charity's tangible fixed assets, and are therefore not available for expenditure.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenses are included in the financial statements as they become due.

Expenses include VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim it.

Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, in particular grant funding and the costs of maintaining the charity's profile within the sector.

Expenditure relating to Running the Mosque are those elements of expenditure directly incurred in performing these activities.

Support costs comprise costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and are allocated to the one charitable activity.

Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the charity's assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Land & freehold property 10 - 100 years straight line on cost Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10 years straight line on cost Motor vehicles 10 years straight line on cost

Freehold land is not depreciated.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the net sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any material unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to net income/ (expenditure) for the year so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

1.13 Government Grants

Government grants, which include amounts received under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, are recognised at the fair value of the grant received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. The income is recognised in other income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the associated costs are incurred, using the performance model.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Council of Management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. There were no material critical accounting estimates or judgements made in either year.
