The Trustees present their general and financial report for the year ending 31st March 2022.
## **Background**
**Newham North Islamic Association** hereafter known as NNIA was established in May' 1974 mainly to cater for religious, social and cultural needs of the growing Muslim community in the area. It started its activities by congregating in a house, for prayers and main religious events. However, the accommodation was too small for the large number of Muslims and subsequently moved into Durning Hall, Forest Gate, London E7. The elders of the local community embarked into fund raising and managed to buy the present site known as: 88 Green Street, E7 8JG, through donations from the local community.
These premises were later developed into a large Mosque and Community Centre in phases since early 1990s. Later in continuation of the development of this Community Centre, 140 Whyteville Road, E7, was purchased which was designed to enable separate facilities for women's use and has been extremely successful.
The current premises are being continually upgraded to maximise its use, increase facilities and amenities to reflect the changing needs. A number of improvements have been undertaken to improve accessibility, safety and security for the users.
## **Governing Document**

## **Induction and training of new Trustees**
All trustees are given, in the view of the board, sufficient training as knowledge to understand the nature of the Charity so that they can fully comply with the Charity's current view of its progression. They are required to participate in an orientation day to ensure they are aware of both their legal and professional responsibilities under Charity and Company Law.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEWHAM NORTH ISLAMIC ASSOCIATION ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2022**
We report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set out on pages 5 and 6.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees & Examiners:**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
- State whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
Our 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 the 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 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 section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
