## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
## **Objectives and activities**
The purpose and objects of the Charity are the promotion, preservation and observation of orthodox Jewish tradition, for the public benefit. It aims to provide the environment, leadership and tools to enable its members and visitors to lead a full and worthwhile life in the orthodox Jewish tradition, thus achieving its purposes and objects.
The activities currently carried out by the Charity, in furtherance of its aims and all for the public benefit, can be broadly categorised into the following types:-
· The provision of a place of worship, religious and communal activities and support for those in need
- The provision of a mikvah for ritual immersion
· Burial rites in accordance with the orthodox tradition
- Arranging communal events and activities
The Charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. Regular services and religious and communal social activities are carried out throughout the year. A range of communal events and activities, including the operation of the Shul shop, are offered to members and non-members, to enhance the community spirit in the orthodox tradition. The popularity of these services and the level of membership allow the Trustees to monitor the success of the activities. The Charity has its own cemetery at Throop in Bournemouth and provides burial rites in the orthodox tradition for members and non-members alike, in both its cemetery and in local authority cemeteries where it has been allocated areas for Orthodox Jewish Burial.
The Trustees consider all the Charity's activities are of benefit to all those who worship at, and identify with, our Synagogue.
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and reflect this in membership fees charged to its members.
## **Achievements and performance**
The Congregation, like most charities has been affected in its activities as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. This has curtailed for several months the attendance by members and visitors to the Synagogue for prayer. Following the gradual lifting of the lockdown, all services have been maintained.
The Senior Trustees, in the absence of an Executive having been elected, worked tirelessly with the Board of Management, the Rabbi and the members to ensure activities have been maintained when permitted, in person, and otherwise on Zoom.

## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_
The effect of the pandemic has resulted in a decrease in fund-raising and donations that has been reflected in the decline in these overall incomes for the period. During this period subscriptions have maintained a fair level of income whilst the historic trend for membership to decline is slowing, the Trustees are pleased to report that the Congregation continues to welcome new members moving to Bournemouth. This appears to be against the trend for many provincial towns nationwide. Cost saving measures have been continued and have enabled the congregation to navigate in a sound financial manner and to progress the first phase refurbishment of the Menorah Suite part of the Synagogue complex.
Whilst many of the face-to-face communal functions have been gradually returning, activities cancelled in the previous year have been reinstated for short periods of time. The Shul kosher shop has remained to operate throughout the period and has delivered an essential service to the congregation. Both the Shop sales and expenses have continued to be controlled during the year to achieve best use of the Charity's funds.
The overall activities remain consistent with expectations and are considered to be in accordance with the Charity's key objectives. The Trustees are satisfied that the achievements in the year have maintained the orthodox Jewish religious experience of its members and visitors. The Trustees have reviewed the activities and performance of the Charity against its objectives and are satisfied that the performance has continued to enable the objectives to be met.
The Strategy Sub-committee set-up in early 2020 has continued its work and has commissioned a new website and logo to rebrand BHC thus increasing its appeal to new membership both from the local catchment area and further afield.
## **Financial review**
The accounts have been prepared on a break up basis, with the set up of a newly established Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission, on 5 August 2021, Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation CIO, charity no 1195412.
The net incoming resources for the year are set out on page 11. The Trustees consider the expenditure in the year has fully enabled the objects of the charity to have been met during the year. The Charity recognises a surplus of £35,427 before cessation, this along with the funds brought forward of £1,635,205, have been donated to the new CIO on 28 February 2022, as a result the account show an exceptional donation out of £1,670,632. The Charity's main income during the period continued to be subscriptions, donations, shop and burial income. Legacy Income is noted separately within the accounts.
During the period the principal risk facing the Charity was the fall in membership of its ageing community. This would affect membership subscriptions, its primary funding source, and all areas of other income, however making corresponding cuts in expenditure is problematic. The Executive and the Trustees continued to manage this risk by actively encouraging and welcoming new members and providing activities that would be attractive to these new members, as well as exercising tight fiscal control over expenditure, for example by negotiating more favourable terms for major expenditure items such as insurance and utility bills.
There are no restrictions on the Charity's power to invest. Whilst acknowledging that the Charitable funds may be invested in any type of investment, the Trustees continued to review at regular intervals, with the Executive, the Charity's requirements. In 2016, the Charity sold its investments and subsequently cash funds are currently being held in various building societies and bank accounts, these have been transferred across to the new CIO.
The reserves held at the year end and split in accordance with note 17 have been transferred to the new CIO on 28 February 2022.

## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_
## **Trustees**
The current holding Trustees are Mr. Stephen H White, Mr. Ivor E. Weintroub and Mr. Mahir Ozdamar.
A Holding Trustee is elected by the members at a general meeting, and serves until the earlier of retirement, ceasing to be a member of the congregation, or removal from office by the members at a general meeting. In addition, any Trustee appointed after August 1999 will be able to hold office for a period of ten years with the option of offering himself for re-election. The training and induction of new Trustees is undertaken on a one to one basis with the current Trustees.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Charity Trustees, who include the holding trustees, are elected by the members at an Annual General Meeting and serve until the next Annual General Meeting when they step down and are entitled to be re-elected at that meeting. In accordance with our tradition, this report is prepared by the Trustees elected in accordance with Rule 12 of our Constitution. The Trustees present this report and the financial statements of the charity on behalf of themselves and the remaining charity Trustees for the year ended 31 October 2022..
The holding trustees are all members of the congregation who have previously been Executive Officers, and in whom all the funds and property of the congregation are vested.
## **Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others**
The Charity holds funds for third parties. These are primarily the assets of the Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation Charitable Trust (BHCCT), and the Welfare Fund. In addition, monies are collected for the Chief Rabbinate, the Board of Deputies and Chesed (Welfare). These funds are normally included in creditors on the Statement of Financial Position of the Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation and frequently reviewed to ensure safe custody and segregation from the Charity's own assets. They have on 28 February 2022 been transferred to the new CIO.
The activities of the BHCCT have been incorporated in those of the Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation, and its objectives are considered to be in line with that of the congregation. The monies collected on behalf of the other parties are voluntary payments, collected through the subscription invoices of Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation, and paid over to these parties at regular intervals. The Trustees ensure that there are sufficient cash reserves to pay the third parties as required. These obligations to third parties would be met by the new CIO.
## **Events since the end of the year**
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements, see note 17.

## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that 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 Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 October 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
- In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 October 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Emphasis of matter – financial statements prepared on a basis other than going concern**
We draw attention to Note 1.2 to the financial statements which explains that the trustees intend to transfer the assets of the charity to a CIO and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in Note 1.2. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
## **Other information**
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

**BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
- 8 -
## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and its management.
## Our approach was as follows:
- We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, and through discussion with the trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), and discussed with the trustees and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
- We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financial statements reporting framework (FRS 102) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK;
- We considered the legal and regulatory principles in the Charity SORP;
- We considered the nature of the industry, the control environment, business performance and KPI's for a religious organisation;
- We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. These include Health and Safety, employment law, building insurance, public liability insurance and licencing;
- We considered and reviewed the procedures and controls that the company has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how senior management monitors those programmes and controls. These include the review of authorisation limits for bank transactions, authorisation for BACS payment and review of petty cash controls.
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. These include Health and Safety, Employment Law and Licencing. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included: testing manual journals; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; performing analytical procedures; and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.
- 9 -
## **BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.4 Incoming resources**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from donations is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
## **1.5 Resources expended**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required insettlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by the charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

|Land and buildings|See Land and buildings|
|---|---|
|Cemetery land|See Land and buildings|
|Fixtures and ftngs|15% on reducing balance|
|Computers equipment|33% on cost|
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

**BOURNEMOUTH HEBREW CONGREGATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **Land and buildings**
Areas of the cemetery land are consecrated and therefore the Trustees review the carrying value included within the financial statements for impairment indicators.
It is the charity's practice to maintain the buildings in a continual state of sound repair and to extend and make improvements thereto from time to time. Accordingly, the Trustees consider that the lives of these assets are so long and residual values are so high that the depreciation is insignificant. Any permanent diminution in the value of such properties is charged to the statement of financial activities account, as appropriate.
## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.10 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

**(Continued)**
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.11 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.12 Hire purchase and leasing commitments**
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
The annual depreciation charge is considered with reference to the estimated useful economic lives and residual value of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually.
The trustees assess the closing debtor balances for recoverability and those not considered probable of recovery are provided for. For the current year, the trustees have assessed the balances outstanding and consider no provision to be required against these.
Accruals for goods or services not yet invoiced are estimated based on historic activity with the supplier or quotations received ahead of invoicing.
Prepayments are based on actual invoices received and costs allocated across the relevant accounting period on a straight line basis of the time period in which the service relates to.
There were no other key sources of estimation uncertainty.

Land and buildings includes the Bath Hill Court flat and the synagogue complex, the original cost of which is unknown and which is included at a value of £185,817, which represents expenditure only since 1995. The Trustees consider that the land and buildings are worth in excess of the above costs but do not consider that it would be practical or serve any useful purpose to value it on an open market basis. All other costs above represent total cost less any grants received.
All fixed assets have been transferred to the Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation CIO, see note 17.
