INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MA'OS YESOMIM CHARITABLE TRUST
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Ma'os Yesomim Charitable Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 5 April 2022.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE MA'OS YESOMIM CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Roeder House, Vale Road, London, N4 1QE.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(i) BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
(ii) GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity. In addition, the trustees recognise that they have the ability to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations.
(iii) JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 21.
(iv) FUND ACCOUNTING
General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(v) INCOMING RESOURCES
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
investment income represents amounts invoiced during the year, inclusive of Value Added Tax and rents and charges receivable in respect of its investments and interest on funds held on deposit and invested are included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity.
(vi) RESOURCES EXPENDED
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
(vii) INVESTMENT PROPERTY
The charity has investment in a number of unincorporated property joint venture syndicates. The investments are shown at cost. Income arising from such investments is shown in the statement of financial activities. All joint venture syndicates make up their accounts to 31 March each year and the results are included on this basis.
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of consideration given, including transaction costs associated with the investment property.
After initial recognition, investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the profit or loss account in the year that they arise.
No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying the fair value model.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(viii) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other debtors that are classified as receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received net of impairment.
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other creditors that are classified as payable within one year are measured at the discounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank.
