RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company 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 6, 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 continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection of fraud and other irregularities.
SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 1985 relating to small companies and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2005 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities'.

CONG YETEV LEV D’SATMAR M/C LTD INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CONG YETEV LEV D’SATMAR
LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 4-7.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of Cong Yetev Lev D’Satmar Limited (Limited by guarantee) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act), as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts (under section 43 (3)(a) of the 1993 Act, as amended);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43 (7)(b) of the 1993 Act, as amended); 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 I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with Section 4386 of the Companies Act 2006); and
-
Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
