The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2024
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 constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102).
Structure, governance and management
The trust is governed by a deed of trust dated 24 March 2014 and is a registered charity (charity number 1157712).
The trustees who served during the year were:
Mr A Smith Mr M D Zybutz
Apart from the first trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution of the trustees at a special meeting called under clause 15 of the trust deed.
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The objectives of the trust are: 1. The advancement of the orthodox Jewish Faith; 2. The relief of poverty and 3. The relief of sickness and preservation of health.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy in the year.
Review of activities for the year
The trust has raised funds through donations for the purposes of fulfilling its objectives. During the year these objectives were met through donations made.
The trustees may invest the unrestricted funds in any type of investment as seen fit.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The trustees consider that funds at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding they will be able to continue the Trust's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Risk management
The trustees have examined the major, strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces and confirm that the systems have been established to ensure that these risks are minimised.

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 business.
Trustees
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to 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.

ISRAEL NORMAN SMITH CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024
I report on the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility:
-
to examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)b of the 2011 Act); 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and (ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
