INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024

TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF MECCA MOSQUE

I have examined the financial statements for the year ended 31st May 2024 as set out on the annexed pages which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out below:

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income does exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination; it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, and
to 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 a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act 2011 have not been met; or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements and statements of assets and liabilities for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period together with its assets and liabilities at the end of the period and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

(a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
(b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
(c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable standards subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
(d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue its activities

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulation made under S44 of the Charity Act 1993 as amended by Charity Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud or other irregularities.
