KOLLEL AHAVAS TORAH INDEPENDENT EXAMINER`S REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Kollel Ahavas Torah ('the charity') for the year ended 30 September 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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 required.

It is my responsibility to:

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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
