PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
During the period under review the Bestway Foundation continued to provide assistance to local and international charities, Various students both from the UK and abroad were provided grants/ scholarships/ bursaries to assist them with their education.
The Bestway Foundation again collected funds in relation to Pakistan Flood Relief (PFR). In total £130,912 (2023: £432,21 I) of restricted funds were collected to support and build new homes for people effected by the flood in Pakistan during 2022. With the funds collected during the 2023 year of £432,211, grants totalling 563,123 were paid to the Bestway Foundation Pakistan to directly support people effected by the flood in Pakistan.
The net decrease in total funds for the year of £584,547 is predominantly due to the payment of funds generated for the Pakistan Flood Relief as detailed above.
The Bestway Foundation in the future seeks to deepen its relationships with various UK based charities such as British Asian Trust, Crimestoppers, Duke of Edinburgh's Awards etc. and British Universities such as Universities of Bradford, Oxford, Kent and Cambridge.
FUNDRA!SlNG
Bestway Foundation does not undertake any fundraising activities directly, The Bestway Pakistan Flood Relief was a one-off event aimed at raising funds to support the Pakistan Flood Relief activities as detailed above. The funds raised from this event were principally received from grant funders, corporate partnerships, and suppliers and through some individual donors. No professional fundraisers or fundraising agencies were used in relation to this event and no complaints have been received by the charity in relation to this fundraising event.
GOING CONCERN
The Trustees have considered the impact of slow economic growth, and consider that it does not have a material impact on the Foundation due to level of cash reserves and minimal annual fixed cost base.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees continue to keep the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit under review when considering its future activities.

AUDIT REPORT FOR THE TRUSTEES OF THE BESTWA Y FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Bestway Foundation ("the charity") for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet 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 charity's affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of the charity's incoming resources, including its income and expenditure 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 Aet 201 1.
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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements 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 related to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' 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 12 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 trustees' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.
Page 5
AUDIT REPORT FOR THE TRUSTEES OF THE BESTWA Y FOUNDATION
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 trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; 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.
In 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 liquidate the charity or 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below:
Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the charity has to comply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being more susceptible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included but were not limited to compliance with the Charities Act 20 l l, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery and employment legislation.
We are not responsible for preventing irregularities, including fraud. Our approach to detecting irregularities, including fraud, included, but was not limited to, the following:
-
obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and how the charity are complying with that framework, including agreement of financial statement disclosures to underlying documentation and other evidence;
-
obtaining an understanding of the charity's control environment and how the charity have applied releva control procedures, through discussions with management and by performing walk through testing over key areas;
-
obtaining an understanding of the charity's risk assessment process, including the risk of fraud;
-
reviewing meeting minutes of those charged with governance throughout the year; and
-
performing audit testing to address the risk of management override of controls, including testing journa entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transaction outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias,
Page 6
AUDIT REPORT FOR THE TRUSTEES OF THE BESTWA Y FOUNDATION
Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also considered the likelihood of detection of fraud based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we wi be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occu ing due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation,
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council's ("FRC'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 auditor's 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, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Bestway Foundation ("the charity") is an unincorporated charity established under a deed of covenant dated 20 July 1987 and a supplemental deed and deed of variation dated 30 June 1992. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, charity registration number 297178.
The address of the charity's principal place of business is The Bestway Foundation, Abbey Road, London, NWI0 7BW.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at valuation and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic oflreland (FRS 102) (issued October 2019) and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Char ities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view', This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from I April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Bestway Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
These 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 whole £ 1, except where otherwise indicated.
GOING CONCERN
No material uncertainties that may cast any significant doubt about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern have been identified by the trustees, therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
As of 30 June 2024, the charity has net current assets of £3,862,821 (2023: £4,477,368). At the time of approving the financial statements and in consideration of other events, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of the signing the audit report due to existing level of cash reserves and the fact that the annual fixed costs of the Foundation are minimal. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
INCOMING RESOURCES
Cash donations, gifts and legacies are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when it is receivable and are separately allocated between restricted and unrestricted funds where appropriate.
INVESTMENT INCOME
Income from investments is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.
