STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE MEMBERS' RESPONSIBILITIES
We are required under Charity law 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 its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements we are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
· Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The executive members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

MUSLIM CULTURAL SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
Independent examiner's report to the executive committee
of Muslim Cultural Society of the United Kingdom
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st March 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF EXECUTIVE MEMBERS AND EXAMINER
The charity's executive committee are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The charity's executive committee consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My 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 any 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 next statement.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me 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 accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
