The charity operates a synagogue providing facilities for prayer, religious studies, and communal activities.

The charity received income mainly from membership subscriptions, but also from gifts and donations received from the wider community.

The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit, having regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission, when reviewing the charity’s objectives and activities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Charity”) for the year ended 30 April 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Charity's trustees and its directors for the purposes of company law, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the company’s accounts are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 (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 accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

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.

Going concern

In the opinion of the trustees the charity has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to meet any liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the trustees have elected to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make judgements and estimates that are continually reviewed based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events, that are believed by the trustees to be reasonable. The trustees have exercised judgement over accounting for burial membership subscriptions receivable and paid to the Adath Burial Society as the income and expenditure of the Charity rather than the collection and disbursement of subscriptions as an agent of the Burial Society, and in allocating 15% of salary costs to the Connected We Achive fund.

Fund accounting

Grants and donations received designated for specific causes by the donor are accounted for as restricted funds. Expenditure including direct expenditure on designated funda and an allocation of support costs.

Income

Income is recognised when entitlement has passed to the charity and it is probable that economic benefits which can be quantified reliably will flow to the charity. Income from donations including membership subscriptions or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable, and its amount can be measured reliably.
