## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The objectives are as follows:-
To advance the orthodox jewish faith in such ways as the Charity Trustees think fit, including by awarding scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants to students to enable them to pursue further studies at an Institute of Advanced Jewish Studies.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
As stated on the 'Objectives and Activities' section, the charity provides education and supports poverty and illness amongst members of the Jewish faith.
The trustee consider that the activities explained above, satisfy the public benefit requirement.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
The consequences of the Covid-19 outbreak have adversely affected the National economy however our supporters have rallied around to ensure that the charity was not adversely affected by the pandemic and their efforts have been successful. In addition the pandemic is not expected to affect the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months but a small reduction in donations is viewed as being inevitable.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The statement of financial activities show net incoming resources for the year of a revenue nature of £976,473 (2020 - £991,052) and net realised outgoing resources of £965,913 (2020 - £989,128) resulting in a surplus of £10,560 (2020 - surplus of £1,924) .The total reserves at the year end are £15,341 (2020 - £4,781).
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The need for our services is increasing and we plan to continue doing what we can to assist. However, the trustees realise that we must use the resources we have wisely and so we will continue to target those problems where we have expertise to make the most difference. We therefore intend to continue our approach of education and training with further projects to build on the previous ones.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
## **Organisational structure**

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MERCAZ HATORAH NETZACH YISROEL**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Mercaz Hatorah Netzach Yisroel**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Mercaz Hatorah Netzach Yisroel (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
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 applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
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.
## **Expenditure**
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 in settlement 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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
