INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANJUMAN HIMAYATUL ISLAM
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report on the accounts which are set out on pages 5 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period 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; 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 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 statement below.
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 charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year prepared in compliance with the Charities Act 2011, the Trust Deed and the Charities SORP 2005.
Structure, Governance and Management
Trustees
The trustees named have served throughout the year. No trustee has any beneficial interest in the Trust and they are all members of the Trust. Appointment of trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the charity and the Trustees are authorised to appoint new trustees to fill any vacancies.
Governing document
The charity is governed by its Trust deed dated 18 October 1985.
Organisation
The board of trustees meet quarterly to administer the charity whilst day to day duties are delegated to the managing trustee, Mr Sikander Hassam.
Related parties
There are no related parties that require disclosure.
Risk policy
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
Objectives and activities
The Charitable Trust's objects are to promote the study and practice of the Islamic faith and to advance religious education in accordance with the doctrines and practices of the Islamic faith. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charitable trust should undertake. The charitable trust's main activities are:
-
To provide a centre at which members of the public can advance their education in the knowledge of Islam;
-
To provide educational activities to those of Islamic faith.
-
To provide burial services to the community.
Public benefit
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. It is the trustee's opinion that the operation of the charity in its present form is for the public benefit under the principles set out in the Charity Commission guidance.
The activities during the year were:
Interfaith
The Masjid plays a very active role in the interfaith activities and attends functions organized externally and regularly holds events in the Masjid. The Masjid is a member of Hounslow Friends of Faith and plays a lead role in dialogue and activities with the Borough's diverse religious organization.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Funeral Services
The Masjid runs a complete 24 hour funeral services for all Muslims living in the Borough and its' surroundings. It fulfils an essential need for the Muslims that would not have been otherwise available to them. The service runs efficiently with the team working well with the Trustees and Volunteers. The Trust extends their gratitude to these exemplary volunteers.
The Masjid has created a successful partnership with a variety of Borough stakeholders including: Police, London Fire Service, Hounslow Borough Council, Hounslow PCT, West Middlesex Hospital, A s h f o r d and St. Peters Hospital, CVS, Hounslow Link and many other agencies.
Police
The Masjid is a key member of the Police Consultative Group Meeting and has assisted the local community. The Masjid has taken proactive steps to work with the police in order to provide a safe environment for all visitors to the Masjid; in particular the support by the police during key events and on a weekly basis at Jummu’a (Friday) noon prayers. The Trust would like to extend a special thanks to the Hounslow Police for their continued support
Maintenance
Special steps to increase the cleanliness of the Masjid has been undertaken and aims to progressively improve the maintenance of the Masjid premises. The Trust oversees cleaning operations meticulously to ensure the Masjid is safe for all incoming visitors and attendees.
Health and Safety
The Masjid commissions health and safety assessment every year.
Achievements and performance
The charitable trust has continued with its objectives and the trustees are pleased to state that they are satisfied with the overall achievements so far. These achievements could not have been realised without the generous backing of the donors and supported by our kind and enthusiastic volunteers to all of whom we are very grateful. The overheads were again kept to the absolute minimum.
Financial review
The charity continues to seek external finances and support to continue with the objects of the charity. Income is derived from voluntary donations from members of the Islamic faith.
Financial review
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately 3 to 6 months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to any emergency which may arise anytime. Unrestricted funds were maintained at this level throughout the year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
Accounting and reporting responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements 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 accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
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;
-
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision 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.
Independent Examiner
Mr Y.G.M.Bobat FCCA has expressed his willingness to be reappointed and the trustees propose to nominate him to continue in that capacity until the next AGM.
