STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

Organisational Structure
The charity is managed exclusively by the trustees.
Election of New Trustees
No new trustees were appointed during the year. Should there be a need for a new trustee, the existing trustee will appoint the new trustee.
Induction and Training of Trustees
The charity's trustees periodically evaluate possible training requirements to best suit the charity's objectives.
Training will be given by in-house services and these will be available to existing and new trustees on an ad hoc or demand basis.
Risk Management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Governance and Internal Control
The trustees meet four times during the year to review the strategy and performance of the charity's activities.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
Company and Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its results for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
b) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business
The trustees have overall responsibility for assuring that the charity has appropriate systems of controls, financial and otherwise.
They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity

and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide assurance that:-
(i) the charity is operating efficiently and effectively
(ii) the assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition
(iii) proper records are maintained and financial information used within the charity is reliable
(iv) the charity complies with relevant laws and regulations. The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material mis-statement or loss. They include:-
1) a strategic plan, closely monitored
2) regular reviews and consideration by trustees of financial results
3) identification and management of risk. The trustees have introduced a formal risk management process to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies.
This involved identifying the types of risks the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impacts and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of mitigating the risks. As part of this process, the trustees have reviewed the adequacy of the charity's current internal controls. The trustees are pleased to report that the charity's internal financial controls in particular, conform with the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the charity are to advance religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish Faith both in UK and throughout the world and to support other charitable activities as are recognised under English Law. The charity makes grants to individuals and institutions in order to relief the sick and needy. All the incomes received during the year were from kind donations from individuals and institutions.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The charity has achieved its objectives during the year by supporting charitable causes and by maximising income from its available resources with the minimum of risk.
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND FUTURE PLANS
The charity is satisfied that it maximised the income it received by way of donations from various sources. It is also happy to have been able to make substantial grants to further its main objects.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The trustees plan for the charity to continue its charitable activities in a similar way to the current year, and hopes to be able to expand on its current base of donors so that the charity can increase its future charitable activities.
