TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial review

The statement of financial activities on page 8 shows the incoming and outgoing resources for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Total income of the Trust amounted to £357,616, a decrease of £31,589 on the previous year. In addition, the total expenditure for the Trust increased from £269,616 in 2020 to £310,951 in 2021. Overall, there was a surplus for the year of £46,665 compared with £119,589 for the previous year.

The balance sheet on page 9 shows the financial position of the Trust at 31 December 2021. At the year end total

net assets amounted to £807,408.

The net assets of the unrestricted funds are held to meet the support and governance costs and also to be applied towards the Trusts charitable objectives.

Reserves policy

The policy of the Trust is to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the Trust, at a level in excess of unrestricted expenditure. This provides for sufficient funds to be available for all management and administration costs as well as ensuring that adequate funds continue to be available for the costs of its charitable activities.

The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31 December 2021 was £807,408 of which £412,357 are regarded as free reserves, after allowing for funds represented by tangible fixed assets. The current level of reserves is therefore considered to be sufficient to meet the current and future commitments of the Trust. Furthermore, the Trustees are confident that continued support from connected charities and income generated from its charitable activities will enable the Trust to continue its operating activities.

Risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the operations and finances of the Trust and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate their exposure to the major risks.

Plans for the future

The Trustees do not plan for any significant changes to the Trust's activities.

Structure, governance and management

The Trust was established by a Trust Deed dated 26 June 1988 effected by the 52nd Dai al - Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (RA).

The Trustees named on the legal and administrative information page have served during the year and up to the date of this report, except as noted. Trustees are appointed by the Dai al - Mutlaq for a period not exceeding five years. Trustees may be reappointed at the end of a term of five years or new Trustees may be appointed as set out in the terms of the Trust deed.

The 53rd Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin (TUS) has confirmed and validated the appointment of the Trustees named on the legal and administrative information page and has graciously permitted the Trustees of the Trust to continue to function as such in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.

Meetings of the Trustees are held to agree the strategy and areas of activity of the Trust including the consideration of the Trust's charitable activities, its reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day to day administration of the Trust is delegated to the Secretary.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the the Trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the the Trust for that year.

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

AL-JAMEAH AL-SAYFIYAH TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF AL-JAMEAH AL-SAYFIYAH TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Al-Jameah Al-Sayfiyah Trust (‘the Trust’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the 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:

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 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 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 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 Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the

relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 in this regard.

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:

AL-JAMEAH AL-SAYFIYAH TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF AL-JAMEAH AL-SAYFIYAH TRUST

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, set out on page 4, 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 directors 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 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 Trustees either intend 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 auditors 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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting ireegularities, 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:

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trustees 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 its Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

AL-JAMEAH AL-SAYFIYAH TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Al-Jameah Al-Sayfiyah Trust is an unincorporated charity governed by a trust deed. The Trust is registered in the United Kingdom and its registered address is at 6 Mohammedi Park, Rowdell Road, Northolt, Middlesex, UB5 6AG.

The principal accounting policies adopted and judgement in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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) (effective 1 January 2019). The Trust meets the definition of a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.4 Incoming resources

All income is recognised once the Trust 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) Fees from the Arabic learning programme are credited to income on a received 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 estimated market value as determined by the Trustees.

AL-JAMEAH AL-SAYFIYAH TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Trust 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. Support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure categories.

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 Trust and its compliance with regulations and good practice.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Individual fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised at cost and depreciated by equal annual amounts over their estimated useful lives as follows:-

Long leasehold property Nil
Fixtures and fittings Over 4-8 years

No depreciation is provided on the Trust’s long leasehold property. Given the length of life of this property and that it is maintained to a high standard, it is the opinion of the Trustees that the residual value would be sufficiently high to make a depreciation charge immaterial.

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.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand and bank deposits.

1.8 Employee benefits

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the the Trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.9 Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities include grants made in the year.

1.10 Irrecoverable VAT

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

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carry amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next period.
