PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees confirm that they have referred to guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

The Beth Feige Breslov Trust continued the raising of funds for the purposes of later distributions in accordance with its objects. During the year under review the trustees received donations of £36,948 and distributed £34,550 in support of the charitys’ objectives.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

The Charities Act 2011 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 charity at the end of the year and of the net incoming or outgoing resources for the year then ended.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies, as described on page 9, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will be able to continue.

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 the Charities Act 2011. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection of fraud and other irregularities.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity. 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 seek 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

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention.

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 2011 Act.
