**DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **NOMINEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

**______________________________________________________________________________** 

The Nominees present their report and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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). 

## **Aims and objectives** 

The objects of the Trust are to carry out such charitable purposes for the relief of poverty and the advancement of education or religion or otherwise for the benefit of mankind anywhere in the world as the Dai al-Mutlaq shall from time to time determine. These include the advancement, safeguard and protection of the Islamic religion; the advancement of learning and education in their widest connotations; the relief of poverty and help to the poor and needy; the grant and aid of medical relief and the advancement of such other religious and charitable objects as the Dai al-Mutlaq shall determine. 

The Trust aims to further these objects through the support of Anjumans, other charities, Dawoodi Bohra institutions and the community in general. 

The Nominees confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the objects of the Trust for the year. The main activities undertaken to further the Trust’s purposes for the public benefit include the provision of grants and donations to other charities and for the education and relief of distress suffered by individuals in the community. 

## **Grant making policy** 

The Trust’s grant making policy is to identify those charities, individuals and community projects in the UK and worldwide that meet the objects of the Trust stated above. 

## **Qardan Hasana** 

Due to the tenets of the Dawoodi Bohra faith, interest can neither be received nor paid and as a result, the Trust provides interest free loans in order to directly further its charitable purposes to businesses and other charities. 

## **Activities and performance** 

The Trust carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The Nominees consider that these activities, noted below, provide benefit both to the Dawoodi Bohra community and the wider local community. 

In order to achieve its objectives as stated above, the Trust has incurred expenses on various activities for the relief of distress and aid of the community, as detailed in note 5 of the accounts. These include Niyaz, Mawaed, Talimy Imdad, Tibby Imdad and Muvasat (see glossary on page 28). Additionally, the Trust financially supports Faiz-ul Mawaid al Burhaniyah, a movement for catering meals free of cost, once a day, to all members of the Dawoodi Bohra community initiated by the 52[nd] al-Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin[RA] and continued by his successor the 53[rd] al-Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin[TUS] . 

## **Property transactions** 

During the year, the Trust received donated properties with an aggregate value of £24,560,000 (2023: £864,859). 

All properties are held for the beneficial interest of "The Dai al-Mutlaq", a Corporation Sole who is the sole Trustee of the Trust.

## **NOMINEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 - (CONTINUED)** 

**_________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Financial review** 

The consolidated statement of financial activities set out on page 8 of the financial statements shows the Group’s income and expenditure for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

Total income amounted to £44,130,443, an increase of £28,503,601 compared to the previous year. This comprises mainly of voluntary donations, investment income and the value of gifted properties. 

Total expenditure amounted to £38,033,073 (2023: £12,692,796), with £1,176,260 (2023: £845,464) defrayed in raising funds, £2,131,466 (2023: £2,665,275) on charitable activities, £33,179,917 (2023: £7,926,777) on grant funding and £1,545,430 (2023: £1,255,280) on support and governance costs. 

The net movement in funds for the year resulted in a surplus of £6,097,370 (2023: £2,105,928). 

The balance sheets set out on page 9 show the financial position of the Group and the Trust as at 31 December 2024. 

Total Group assets less liabilities amounted to £160,059,769 (2023: £153,962,399) which is represented by the accumulated balances on the unrestricted funds of £122,886,043 (2023: £116,788,673) and restricted funds of £37,173,726 (2023: £37,173,726). 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the Trust to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the Trust, at a level sufficient to provide for expenditure in future years without reliance on future voluntary income which cannot be guaranteed. In addition, funds are required to cover management and administration costs in order to continue the running of the Trust and also to provide for future capital projects required for the benefit of the community. 

The balance held as unrestricted funds at the year-end was £122,886,043 of which £20,698,332 are regarded as free reserves, after allowing for funds invested in tangible fixed assets and investment properties. The Nominees do not expect the level of charitable expenditure in 2025 to be as high as that in 2024, therefore the current level of reserves is considered to be sufficient to meet the expected ongoing operational commitments of the Trust for the foreseeable future. 

Restricted funds comprise £37,173,726 which are represented by the value of various properties gifted to the Trust whose use has been restricted by the donor and also all the Masjids held by the Trust. 

Whilst the Trust has sufficient funds to continue its grant making and other activities for the foreseeable future, the Nominees are continually reviewing the long-term plans for the Trust. 

## **Risk management** 

Risk assessments are carried out in order to ascertain the likelihood of a risk event occurring, of its potential impact and whether any cost-effective mitigating action may be taken. 

The principal risks faced by the Trust are: 

- Risks relating to the operations and finances of the Trust. 

- The performance of its investments.  The Trust mitigates this risk by ensuring that its investment properties are maintained to a very high standard and are in prime locations. 

## **Fund raising standards information** 

The Trust does not actively fundraise and does not hold any agreements with professional fundraisers or commercial participators. The costs of generating funds in the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities comprise solely of property rental costs. 

## **Plans for the future** 

The policies and purposes of the Trust shall continue under the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Trust aims to continue to provide support to charities and the public at large.

## **NOMINEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 - (CONTINUED)** 

## **_________________________________________________________________________________** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

On 1 May 1986, the 52nd al-Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin[RA] executed the Deed of Confirmation and Trust of Dawat-e-Hadiyah Trust (United Kingdom).  The said Deed of Confirmation and Trust was registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales on 2 July 1986. The 52nd al-Dai alMutlaq, His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin[RA,] ,was then the Sole Trustee of the said Trust. 

On 1 July 1993, an Act was incorporated by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons in Parliament, by the name of Dawat-e-Hadiyah Act 1993, incorporating the person who for the time being holds the office of the Dai al-Mutlaq as a Corporation Sole by the name of the Dai al-Mutlaq with perpetual succession. The 52[nd] al-Dai al-Mutlaq was thus appointed as a Corporation Sole. 

In 1996, the said Corporation Sole by the name of the Dai al-Mutlaq was made the Sole Trustee of the Trust. 

On the passing of the 52[nd] al-Dai al-Mutlaq on 17 January 2014, his son and successor Dr. Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin[TUS] succeeded as the 53[rd] incumbent to the office of the Dai al-Mutlaq.  Thus, the 53[rd] al-Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin[TUS] , is now the Corporation Sole enacted by the Dawat-e-Hadiyah Act 1993 and as such the Sole Trustee of the Trust. 

The Nominees act on behalf of the Dai al-Mutlaq and exercise such powers and perform such functions as are assigned to them by the Dai al-Mutlaq for administering the affairs of the Trust. Hence, the nominees are considered the key management personnel of the Trust.  As per the provisions of the Trust Deed, the Dai al-Mutlaq may at any time and from time to time at his sole discretion and pleasure appoint, remove and accept the resignation of a Nominee or Nominees. In selecting new Nominees, the Dai al-Mutlaq ensures that they are respected members of the community with the knowledge and skills to act as Nominees.  Nominees are expected to identify their training needs and to take measures to ensure that these needs are met. 

The Nominees serving during the year and since the year end are detailed on the legal and administrative information page. 

## **Related parties** 

The relationship between the Trust and other connected charities is disclosed in note 21 on page 25 of the accounts.

## **DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **STATEMENT OF NOMINEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Nominees are responsible for preparing the Nominees’ 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 Nominees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and the Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Trust and the Group for that year. 

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

- select suitable accounting policies and then 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; and 

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

The Nominees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust 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 Trust and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT** 

## **TO THE NOMINEES OF DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Dawat-e-Hadiyah Trust (United Kingdom) (the ‘Trust’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Trust Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (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 Trust’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the Group’s incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- 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) (ISAs (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 Group and Trust 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** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Nominees' 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 Group or Trust’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 Nominees 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 Nominees 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. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 on this regard.

**DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE NOMINEES OF DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

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

- the information given in the Nominees’ Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the trust’s 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 Nominees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Nominees' Responsibilities, the Nominees 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 Nominees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Nominees are responsible for assessing the Group’s and Trust’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 Nominees either intend to liquidate or 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 151 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. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https ://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. 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 or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. Our approach was as follows: 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework being FRS102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Anti-Money Laundering and Charities Act 2011 rules and regulations. 

- We understood how the charity is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and seeking representations from those charged with governance. We corroborated our understanding by reviewing supporting documentation. 

- Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved enquiries of management and those charged with governance, review of legal and professional expenses and review of Nominee meeting minutes. 

6 



**DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE NOMINEES OF DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

- We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by considering the risk of management override of internal control and by designating incoming resources recognition as a fraud risk. We performed journal entry testing by specific risk criteria, with a focus on journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the business. We tested completeness of income through substantive tests performed, analytical review procedures and cut off tests on the incoming resources recognised. 

- Where incoming resources were received from overseas, we requested supporting documentation to ensure that sufficient anti-money laundering documentation was in place. 

- The charity is a regulated entity under the supervision of the Charities Commission. As such, the Statutory Auditor considered the experience and expertise of the engagement team to ensure that the team had the appropriate competence and capabilities. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Trust’s Nominees, 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 Trust's Nominees 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 Trust and the Trust’s Nominees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 

**TC Group Statutory Auditor** 29 October 2025 5[TH] Floor 3 Dorset Rise London EC4Y 8EN 

TC Group is eligible for appointment as auditor of the Trust by virtue of its eligibility as auditor of a company under of section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Analysis of changes in net debt** 

The Trust does not have any debt, as such the net debt position is equivalent to the cash at bank and in hand. Changes in the net debt position are equivalent to the movements as shown on the statement of cash flows. 

The Group uses the exemption conferred by section 1.12 of FRS102 in not preparing a separate cash flow statement for the Trust as a separate entity.

**DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_ 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Dawat-e-Hadiyah Trust (United Kingdom) (‘the Trust’) is an unincorporated charity governed by a trust deed. The Trust is registered in England and Wales with The Charity Commission, and its registered office is at 6 Mohammedi Park Complex, Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG 

The principal accounting policies adopted, and judgements made in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows. 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Trust’s deed, the Charities Act 2011, and 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). 

These financial statements consolidate the results of the Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries on a line by line basis.  Transactions and balances between the Trust and its subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. 

The Trust meets the definition of a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements 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 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 Group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note to these accounts. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

Given the Group’s financial position at the year end, the Nominees consider that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and believe that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparation of these consolidated financial statements. 

## **1.3 Key judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Nominees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results and values used may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

## _**Valuation of investment properties**_ 

Investment properties are measured using the fair value model and stated at their estimated fair values on the basis of the open market value as at the reporting end date as determined by the Nominees, but with reference to information obtained from third party experts. The Nominees consider the aggregate valuation at the year end to be materially accurate at £82,220,666 for the Group and £79,425,596 for the Trust.

## **DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 - (CONTINUED)**_ 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.4 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Nominees in furtherance of the Trust’s charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds comprise the following: 

1. The carrying value of various properties gifted to the Trust whose use has been restricted by the donor; and 

2. The carrying value of the Masjids held by the Trust. 

## **1.5 Income recognition** 

All income is recognised once the Group has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

- (i) Where possible, donations are accounted for on a receivable basis. However, it is recognised that voluntary donations from individuals cannot be treated in this manner when there is no contractually enforceable right to donations promised. For this reason, donations from individuals are normally accounted for on a receipts basis. 

- (ii) Rental income is accounted for on a receivable basis. 

- (iii) Donated assets are recognised when control over the expected economic benefits that flow from the donation has passed to the charity and are included in the financial statements at fair value on the date of acquisition, as determined by the Nominees. 

## **1.6 Expenditure recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Group to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.  Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Trust. Unconditional grant offers are accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Group and its compliance with regulations and good practice. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. 

## **1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £5,000 are capitalised and stated at cost less depreciation.  All assets costing less than £5,000 are expensed. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. 

Where there is a permanent diminution in the value of any asset a charge is made to the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land and buildings are depreciated to write off the cost or valuation less the estimated residual value by annual instalments over their expected useful lives. 

12 



**DAWAT-E-HADIYAH TRUST (UNITED KINGDOM)** 

## **NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 - (CONTINUED)**_ 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.7** _**Tangible fixed assets and depreciation - continued**_ 

The following rates are used by the Group:- 

Freehold and Long Leasehold properties Not depreciated Masjids Not depreciated Other buildings 10 years straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment 4 – 8 years straight line Motor vehicles 4 years straight line 

No depreciation is provided on the Trust’s freehold and long leasehold properties or Masjids. The Nominees are of the opinion that the residual value of the properties at the end of their useful life is expected to be in excess of the carrying value, given that the properties are maintained to a high standard. As a result, any depreciation to be provided is not material over the life of the asset and therefore has not been accounted for. 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the statement of financial activities for the year. 

## **1.8** 

## **Investment properties** 

Investment properties which are properties held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation, are measured using the fair value model and stated at their estimated fair values as at the reporting end date as determined by the Nominees, but with reference to information obtained from third party experts. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised on the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **1.9 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand represents cash held for working capital purposes and in interest free bank current accounts. 

## **1.10 Foreign exchange** 

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of financial activities for the period. 

## **1.11 Qardan Hasana** 

Qardan Hasana balances (interest free loans) are initially recognised and measured at the amount received or paid with the carrying amount adjusted in subsequent years to reflect repayments and adjusted if necessary for any doubtful debts. 

## **1.12 Financial instruments** 

The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **1.13 Corporation tax** 

The Trust, as a registered charity, is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of its income and gains to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively for charitable purposes. The two subsidiaries are however subject to UK corporation tax on their profits, but where possible, donate any taxable profits to the Trust so as to avoid any tax charge arising.

Included in the above amounts are properties that are being used for the advantage and benefit of the Dawoodi Bohra Jamaats (congregations) of London, Leicester, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford, Nottingham, Croydon, Dublin, Sydney, Melbourne and Toronto. For the better administration and management of these Jamaats, several charitable and religious organisations (Anjumans) have been established for each Jamaat. In furtherance of the objects of Dawat-e-Hadiyah Trust (United Kingdom), the Sole Trustee has entrusted certain properties to the said Anjumans for their administration, supervision and management to facilitate religious, social, charitable, educational and cultural activities of the respective Jamaats and, where pertinent, to receive rental income. 

As the properties are entrusted to the Anjumans, any rents and other income derived from these properties and outgoings, utilities, rates and taxes in connection with these properties are not reflected in these accounts but are instead shown in the individual accounts of the respective Anjumans.

## **23. Subsequent events** 

Subsequent to the year end, the Trust acquired two investment properties for a total consideration of £1,900,000. 

## **24. Capital commitments** 

At 31 December 2024, the Trust had a capital commitment of €1,078,800 to a supplier in respect of construction works to be undertaken. 

Subsequent to the year-end, a third party has assumed full responsibility for the contract from the Trust. Accordingly, the liability has not been recognised in the financial statements. 

A contingent liability of €1,078,800 remains however, the likelihood of the Trust being required to settle this amount is considered to be very unlikely.
