TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED
31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out on page 6 and comply with the Trust Deed and applicable law.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT & TRUSTEES
The trustees named on page 1 have served throughout the year. Appointment of trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the charity dated 4 January 2016. The Board of Trustees is authorized to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee. There are no policies adopted by the trustees for the induction and training of Charity Trustees. Due to the nature of the Charity’s activities, most of the day-to-day work is learned through practical exposure and ultimately experience, and all trustees are constantly encouraged to update their knowledge by reading, The Charity Commissions various publications.
INVESTMENT POWERS
The Trust Deed authorizes the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity.
CONSTITUTION, OBJECTS AND POLICIES
The Charitable Trust is constituted by Trust Deed, and its objects are to advance and further scholarship and education amongst the members of the Orthodox Jewish faith, in the furtherance of its religion, by supporting the advancement of education, in training future rabbis, judges, and welleducated Community leaders and knowledgeable laymen. Persons devoted to study over a long period acquire a breath of knowledge of the faith’s views about many aspects of life, resulting from modern techniques and technology and scientific discoveries and inventions. These matters cannot be investigated without a very through and detailed knowledge of the religious principles involved which can only be obtained by many years of devoted study.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit in planning our future activities, and setting our grant making policy for the year, when reviewing our aims and objectives
DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity during this year has been satisfactory.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees confirm that there are no major risks to which the charity is exposed
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Office overhead expenditure was kept to a minimum during this year. Funds available are sufficient to permit the Trust to continue in operation in the medium term. Should this support not continue in the longer term, further financial support would need to be sought to replace it.

TOMCHAI TORAH B’AM YISROEL (T.T.B.Y) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED
31 MARCH 2021
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are required under the Charities Act 2011 to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year (unless the charity is entitled to prepare accounts on the alternative receipts and payments basis), and comply with the charity’s Trust Deed. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. 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.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
Simon Tesler FCA has been re-appointed as independent examiner for the ensuing year
Approval
This report was approved by the Trustees on 20 January 2022 and signed on their behalf by M. Margulias.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
TOMCHAI TORAH B’AM YISROEL (T.T.B.Y)
I report on the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2021 as set out on pages 4 to 9.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in this 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 members as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER (REPORTING
ACCOUNTANT)
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year 31 March 2021 under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state where particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS / EXAMINERS REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the true and fair view given by the financial statements.
REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS / INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS 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:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to 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.
