OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity's object and its principal activity continues to be the advancement and furtherance of the Jewish religion and Jewish religious education and the alleviation of poverty among the Jewish community.
The charity receives income from voluntary donations and its property investments which it utilises in the provision and distribution of grants and donations.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the charity commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Grant making policy
Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the Charity.
The trustees are approached for donations by a wide variety of charitable institutions operating all over England. The trustees consider all requests which they receive and make donations based on the level of funds available.

The financial results of the charity's activities for the period 31 March 2023 are fully reflected in the attached financial statements together with the notes thereon.

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which the trustees consider appropriate after taking account of the future commitments of the charity and in particular to endeavour to maintain the level of free reserves at an amount equating to at least the previous year's charitable distributions.
As at 31 March 2023 the charity had £58,782 (2022: £100,315) all of which were unrestricted funds.
Risk Management
The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks.
Investment Policy
The charity has the power to make any investment, which the trustees consider appropriate. The trustees regularly review the charity's position and needs in respect of the investment policy.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF IMPERIAL GIVING LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Imperial Giving Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 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
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, London, NW11 0PU.
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 Companies Act 2006.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Judgements made by the trustees in the application of these accounting policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are as follows:
(i) Property valuation
The valuation of the company's investment property portfolio is inherently subjective, depending on many factors including the individual nature of each property, its location and expected future net rental values , market yields and comparable market transactions. Therefore the valuations are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
(ii) Trade and other debtors
The trustees use details of the age of trade debtors and the status of any disputes together with external evidence of the credit status of the counterpart in making judgements concerning any need to impair the carrying values.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income tax
The charity is not liable to direct taxation on its income or gains, whether realised or not, as it falls within the various exemptions liable to registered charities. Accordingly, the charity does not recognise any deferred tax liability on property revaluations as no tax would be due in the event of a disposal as the charity would benefit from the relevant exemptions, as it will apply all funds for qualifying charitable purposes.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
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. 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.
Resources expended
Expenditure is charged on an accrual basis and allocated to the appropriate headings in the accounts. The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Costs incurred in respect of the charitable activities include attributable support costs where applicable.
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.
Investment property
Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.
Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.
If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.
Grants payable
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
