## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
## **Object, Aims and Activities**
The policy of the Charitable Trust continues to be to support these activities as follows:
- 1) The trustees own several buildings including a synagogue hall and ritual baths. These are used constantly by the Community members. They also own a cemetery.
- 2) The Trustees employ a Rabbi and various supervisory officials to ensure that the highest standard of religious requirements in all spheres of Judaism is achieved and maintained.
- 3) The Charity operates a charity fund voucher account, the surplus in which, is used for its objects.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to guidance contained in the charity commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities, and setting the grant policy for the year.
## **Group Structure and Relationships**
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory. It has been able to fund its various activities and distributions as indicated in the SOFA. There were no changes in its activities. The charity’s trading subsidiary Testbell Limited continued to operate providing the community with Kosher poultry. Its other subsidiary Erez (M/c) Ltd provides a regular income from its property investments.
## **Financial Review**
The charity provided Shechitah and Supervisory services during the year which produced an income of £102,330. Donation and subscriptions received during the year were £1,567,715. Gift aid of £300,000 was received from the charity’s wholly owned subsidiary company, Testbell Limited.
The charity paid out charitable grants totalling £1,171,023. The charity spent £114,193 on communal services which included the cost of running and refurbishing the Mikvas. Maintenance of religious buildings, including security was £207,486. Rabbinical and Supervisory Services were £260,675. The cost of Management and Administration was £133,544. The charity’s surplus for the year was £368,601 (2020 - £299,418.)
The results of the charity’s subsidiaries are shown in note 3 to the accounts.
Funds available are sufficient to permit the Trust to continue in operation in the medium term.
## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties**
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust. These risks include macro economic factors governing the whole economy that could expose tenants and thereby put value of the investment properties at risk with the associated knock on effect with lenders covenants. Additionally, the charity may be exposed to interest rate increases with reference to loans and their repayment.

(REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 235459)
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
Other risks faced by the trust include operational risks from ineffective grant making. These risks are managed by the trustees researching potential beneficiaries before granting donations.
Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all grants paid out.
The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to manage the exposure to the above major risks.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees examine the major risks that the charitable trust faces each financial year when preparing and updating its budget. The Charity has developed systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the charity's future.
## **Going Concern**
The trustees consider that the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue and that there are no material uncertainties due to the discretion in making grants and maintaining adequate reserves.
## **Future Developments**
No future developments are contemplated at present.
## **Reserves**
The trustees always wish to retain income to provide for unforeseen contingencies and the amounts retained will fluctuate from year to year.
The amount of distributions made in any period will take into account the necessity to have these reserves available in accordance with the Trustees policy.
The amount of reserves to be held is reviewed annually.
## **True and fair override**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charities governing document , the Charity Act 2011 and the relevant version of 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 ).
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- (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
**- 5 -**
## **MACHZIKEI HADASS COMMUNITIES GROUP** (REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 235459) **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
- disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- (d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the group and charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the group and charity and which enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable trust’s auditors are unaware; and
- The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **MACHZIKEI HADASS COMMUNITIES GROUP**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Machzikei Hadass Communities Group and the Machzikei Hadass Communities for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes and notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
- In our opinion, the financial statements:
- Give a true and fair view of the state of the group and the charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2021 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting practice;
- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
- The trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
- The trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
## **Other Information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. if we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **MACHZIKEI HADASS COMMUNITIES GROUP**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you, in our opinion:
- Sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or
- We have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
## **Responsibilities of the trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5 the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free form material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the charity’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to (a) identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance; (b) detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; (c) the internal controls established

## **MACHZIKEI HADASS COMMUNITIES GROUP**
(REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 235459)
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **MACHZIKEI HADASS COMMUNITIES GROUP**
to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; (e) the matters identified as to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Charities Acts.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
As a result of performing the above, we identified no key audit matters relating to the potential risk of fraud.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
reviewing, the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud and
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilites. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
