The Shia Islamic Education Society
for the Year Ended 31 October 2021
Report of the Trustees
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Shia Islamic Education Society has been set up to promote and advance the Islamic religion in accordance with the principles of the Shia Ithna-Asheri faith and for the relief of the poor belonging to the Shia sect. In order to meet the objectives, the Trustees can secure the provision of education and other religious services. The Managing Trustee can raise funds for the upkeep, restoration and repair of the buildings used for this purpose and to provide other services to meet these objectives.
The results for the year are shown in the financial statements. The statement of financial activities shows the incoming resources and the resources expended by the different activities conducted under the charity`s name.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2021 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity regularly hold meetings to discuss the accounts, new and existing donation requests and to discuss future fund raising events. The charity has worked hard this year in raising funds and the costs have been well managed over this period.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds so that it can offer a faster response to new and existing charitable causes, with a minimum reserve for organising and setup costs. Special events are organised throughout the year to raise funds for new and existing causes.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees but in so doing the trustees seek the views and recommendations of both elders and community leaders. The trustees believe this approach ensures that new trustees are respected members of the faith and local communities and ensures that good relations are fostered between the Charity and the people of the local community that we serve.
In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions organised by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees' meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity's aims and activities and, if all agree, they are then proposed as new trustees at the subsequent trustees' meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The trustees have made no risk related investments. A formal review is undertaken regularly to ensure that all surplus funds are invested in bank and building society accounts at best rates of interest.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Shia Islamic Education Society
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Shia Islamic Education Society
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Shia Islamic Education Society (the Trust) for the year ended 31 October 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
