LIMITED** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of "The Gateshead Kehilla (G.H.C.) Limited"** I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of THE GATESHEAD KEHILLA (G.H.C.) LIMITED ('the charity') for the year ended 31 January 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 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.

LIMITED Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022** ## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. ## **Incoming Resources** - ~ Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. - ~ Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - ~ Grants and investment income are reflected in the accounts when receivable. - ~ Grants which relate to a specified future period are deferred. - ~ Donations, gifts and other income are reflected in the accounts when received. ## **Resources Expended** All expenditure other than that capitalised has been reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Charitable expenditure includes those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountants fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income ## **Taxation** The organisation is exempt from income tax by reason of its charitable status. Income tax suffered on investment income is reclaimed in full. ## **Trustees remuneration and expenses** No remuneration, directly or indirectly out of the funds of the charity, was paid or payable, to any trustee or to any persons known to be connected with any of them. No reimbursement of expenses has been made, or is due to be made, to any of the trustees in respect of the period. 7 ## **THE GATESHEAD KEHILLA (G.H.C.) LIMITED Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022** Accounting policies continued ## **Debtors** Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. ## **Creditors** Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. ## **Leased assets** A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. ## **Pensions** Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate. 8 ## **THE GATESHEAD KEHILLA (G.H.C.)
