## **Appointment, training, and recruitment of trustees**
The trustees (as directors for Company Law purposes) may at any time co-opt any individual who is qualified to be appointed as a trustee to fill a vacancy on a temporary or permanent basis. A co-opted trustee holds office only until the next Annual General Meeting or until the return of the trustee being replaced, whichever is sooner.
New trustees must familiarise themselves with the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, their legal obligations under charity and company law, the organisational structure of The League of Jewish Women and the recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
## **Organisational structure**

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Risk management**
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
- an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face;
- the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and;
- the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures manage any perceived risks.
## **Reserves Policy**
At the balance sheet date the charity had a surplus in unrestricted funds of £343,093 (2022: £314,289). Included in unrestricted funds are £317,092 (2022: £288,461) general funds and £26,001 (2022: £25,828) of designated funds to the International Council of Jewish Women Funds.
During the year the charity received legacies amounting to £5,593 (2022: £50,347).
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserve of the charity, at a level which the trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year.
The trustees have a policy of putting any excess funds into an account earning a higher rate of interest. This policy reflects their decision to take no risk with their funds.
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
The charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory incoming resources.
## **SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 16 July 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEAGUE OF JEWISH WOMEN**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of League of Jewish Women ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2023.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **1. GENERAL INFORMATION**

## **Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** _**(continued)**_
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are 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.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is charged on an accrual basis, inclusive of Value added Tax which cannot be recovered and allocated to the appropriate headings in the accounts.
## **Support costs**
Support costs are those costs which are common to all areas of the organisation. These are allocated across all areas of activity on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.
## **Governance costs**
Governance costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the charity and relate to the general running of the charity. These costs include audit, legal advice for Trustees and costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements such as the cost of Trustee meetings and the preparation of the statutory accounts.
## **Tangible assets**
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

## **3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** _**(continued)**_
## **Investments**
Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
## **Stocks**
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

## **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 company after deducting all of its liabilities.
## **Basic financial instruments**
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 and in hand.

## **21. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS**
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
