FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

q) Collaborated with partner agencies to assist the homeless and vulnerable populations, exemplified by initiatives like the Husaini Soup Kitchen, ensuring crucial support for those most in need.

r) The company incurred its final expenses and the company’s bank account was closed. All profits earned by the company have been donated to the charity and any further expenses will now be paid by the charity. The company is expected to be dormant in the forthcoming accounting period. The financial position of 313 Project Ltd on 31 March 2025 and its results for the year then ended are consolidated in these financial statements.

s) The Muslim Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Community of Peterborough Trust Corporation and 313 Trust Corporation Ltd are investment property holding companies controlled by the charity for the benefit of the charity and for no other purpose. The investment properties held by these companies were valued by independent external parties during the period and these values have been used in the financial statements. The financial position on 31 March 2025 and results for the year then ended of both subsidiaries are consolidated in these financial statements.

Financial review

The results of the group for the year are shown on pages 9 to 12 and in the notes to the financial statements. The trustees present the following summary of financial information to provide an understanding of the period under review.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows how the group's funds have been applied during the year. The total gross income of the group was £535,447 (2024: £487,741). Donations directly relating to the principal activities amounted to £253,191 (2024: £243,207). A detailed analysis of donations and other sources of income is contained within the notes to the financial statements. During the year, the fair value of the investment properties fell by £21,000 (2024: £545,000 decrease. Excluding the revaluation of tangible fixed assets in the previous year there was an overall net deficit for the year of £31,888 (2024: £620,837 net deficit), which was financed by cash received from operations and rental income. The charity has sufficient funds from previous years to cover the net expenditure of the reporting period. Total funds of £10,559,943 (2024: £10,591,831) have been carried forward to forthcoming years, including £220,628 (2024: £223,170) of restricted funds. Restricted funds are ring-fenced for specific purposes and include Khums, Burial fund, Senior citizens and many collections. A full analysis of restricted funds is provided in the notes to the final statements.

Reserves policy

The perpetual nature of the charity's existence means that it will never cease to exist and therefore reserves are carried forward at the end of each financial year. The Trustees and the management committee aim to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level which equates approximately to three months of its unrestricted charitable expenditure, which amounts to approximately £50,000. It is in the Trustees and the management committee view that this level would be sufficient to respond to an unforeseen level of expenditure as well as finance other recurring expenditure. The Trustees and management committee are not remunerated. The restricted funds all relate to items there the donors have specified its intended use or recipient. Where deficit occur on the restricted funds, the Trustees would normally use the unrestricted funds to disburse them.

Investment policy

The assets of the parent charity are held in the nominee name of the Trustees as required by law. The constitution authorises the Trustees to make further capital investments in furtherance of the charity's objectives. All but one of the investment properties owned by the group are held in the names of the group companies limited by guarantee and are consolidated in these financial statements.

Risk management

The Trustees recognise that effective risk management is essential in achieving the Charity's and group’s objectives. Risk management is considered as an integral element of all decision making and identifying appropriate procedures to ensure that risk levels are acceptable in each case. The Trustees believe that it is important to develop and enhance the approach towards risk management, to ensure it remains fit for purpose. The group will formalise its risk management and create a risk register which will be reviewed on regular basis. No immediate, identified or known concerns in relation to the Charity’s long-term future have been identified but this area continues to be monitored. The Trustees are satisfied that the steps they have taken in the short term are appropriate and effective.

Appreciation

The charity relies heavily on services of volunteers. The Trustees wish to thank the Jamaat staff and all the volunteers for their unstinting hard work during the financial year and their on-going efforts in the daily administration of numerous areas of work we do.

The Trustees also wish to acknowledge the immense quantity of high-quality work undertaken by staff, officers and volunteers in helping to achieve and deliver the charitable objectives of the charity.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102);

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

• a) So far as each Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the auditors in connection with preparing their report) of which the company’s auditors are unaware; and

• b) Each Trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Trustee in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MUSLIM KHOJA SHIA ITHNA-ASHERI COMMUNITY OF PETERBOROUGH

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Muslim Khoja Shia lthna-Asheri Community of Peterborough (the 'charity') and its group for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated statement of financial position, the statement of financial position, the consolidated 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 lreland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; and

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

• • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (lSAs (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

ln auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the 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 Trustees 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 Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MUSLIM KHOJA SHIA ITHNA-ASHERI COMMUNITY OF PETERBOROUGH

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or

• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

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

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

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees 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 Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. ln preparing the financial statements, the Trustees 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 Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

• we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity and the group through discussions with management and from our knowledge and experience of the sector and activities of the charity; and

• we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Charities Act 2011; and

• we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified through making enquiries of management and inspecting documentation; and

• we identified laws and regulations which were communicated within the audit team and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatements including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MUSLIM KHOJA SHIA ITHNA-ASHERI COMMUNITY OF PETERBOROUGH

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls we performed the following procedures:

• we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and

• we assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and

• we investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to, agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and remaining alert for actual and potential litigation and claims during our other audit procedures. We did not identify any fraud or other irregularities arising from those audit matters that were investigated.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify noncompliance with laws and regulations.

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 charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees 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 charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Muslim Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Community of Peterborough (“the charity”) is an unincorporated charity formed under a constitution under a deed. The principal place of business is 2-8 Burton Street, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE1 5HD.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP “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) (second edition – October 2019)”. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019) rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

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 the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the results for the year, of the charity and all associated companies that the group controls and their net assets at the year-end date. Transactions between associated undertakings are eliminated on consolidation. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the associated company so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The group financial statements include the financial statements of The Muslim Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Community of Peterborough, The Muslim Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Community of Peterborough Trust Corporation, 313 Project Ltd and 313 Trust Corporation Ltd. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented.

1.3 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have considered the levels of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.4 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

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 accounts.

1.5 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. If the terms of a grant impose performance conditions the grant is only recognised as income when the conditions are met. Grants received before the revenue recognition criteria are met are recognised as a liability.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and for costs incurred for the investment properties.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets

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

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

Land and buildings Straight line over 50 years Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% straight line Plant and equipment 25% straight line

1.8 Investment properties

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured using the fair value model and stated at its fair value as at the reporting end date. The fair value of a property is estimated based on an external valuation made by an independent valuer who has recent experience in the location and class of the properties being valued. The net gain or loss on revaluation of investment properties is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any 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.

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees that have not opted-out of the scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund. Payments to defined contribution schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.10 Taxation

The charity is exempt from taxation on its activities because all its income is applied for charitable purposes.

1.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.12 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are measured at amortised cost or fair value, which is normally transaction price.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. They are based on historical experience and any other factors that may be relevant and are believed to be reasonable. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. If estimates and judgements are subsequently revised, revisions to accounting estimates are recognised as arising in the financial reporting period in which the estimate is revised.

The principal area involving significant accounting estimates or judgements this year is the estimation of fair values of investment properties (note 13). The Trustees consider all fair value estimates to be reliable however revisions to estimates to reflect actual results may arise in a subsequent financial reporting period.

12 Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Land and buildings include revalued assets with a carrying amount of £7,638,260 (2024: £7,765,000). The most recent valuation by an independent valuer had an effective date of 31 March 2024 and was made by a qualified Chartered Surveyor not connected to the charity. No tax charge is expected to crystallise due to the available tax exemptions therefore no deferred taxation has been provided.

At 31 March 2025, had the revalued assets been carried at historic cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, their carrying amount would have been approximately £3,534,928 (2024: £3,661,668).
