Appointment, training, and recruitment of trustees
The trustees have no beneficial interest in the company as it is a company limited by guarantee. The trustees are recruited by agreement of trustees at an annual meeting. The choice is based on applicants' business and community knowledge.

Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events which enhance their knowledge and skill thereby improving the performance of their role.
Management of the charity
The trustees delegate the day-to-day management of the charity to the CEO Matti Fruhman and the senior management team.
As the organisation continues to grow both in terms of the number of donors and recipient charities, the trustees have continue to invest in terms of personnel which represents a commitment by the trustees for the charity to develop its strategic objectives for the years ahead and maintaining its high level of service to its donors and charities. Staff are remunerated in line with roles with similar responsibilities in the charity sector.
In April 2023, Mr I M Katz, a founder trustee and current chairman retired as trustee, after 44 years of dedicated service. The charity acknowledges the huge debt owed to him in respect of all his work over the years. He will take on the role of Lifetime President and be available for continued advice and support.
At the same time, Mr M A Hackenbroch and Mr A Katz were appointed as joint chairs.
Related parties and co-operations with other organisations
None of our trustees receive remuneration from their work with the charity, besides Mr I M Katz who received £14,600 for his IT services. Any connection between a trustee of the charity with a supplier company must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.
None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity is established to advance religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish Faith and for such purposes as are recognised by English Law as charitable and in furtherance of the aforementioned objects.
The charity's principal activity throughout the year was the provision and distribution of donations and grants to other charitable institutions, organisations and authorised individuals. The charity aims to maximise its grants and donations on an annual basis.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The objectives of the charity are to support the activities of religious Jewish organisations, especially in the field of education and relief of poverty. The trustees review institutions and organisations recommended by its donors and ensure they meet appropriate criteria in line with the charity's objectives.
To achieve its objectives, the charity operates an online platform specifically designed to facilitate community-based charitable support. It operates a donor-advised scheme, under which donations received are credited to the respective donor's account. Donors provide guidance on the allocation of their funds via the online platform. Subject to alignment with the charity's objectives, the charity implements the donors' instructions accordingly.

Research and development

-
Software that provides a clearer view of transactions enabling client's easier navigation of transactions;
-

-
Enhanced speed of future data enhancements;
-
Mobile application updates;
-
Charity portal application and mobile friendly facility;

Optimised processes and reporting.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Risk management
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face;
-
the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and;
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures manage any perceived risks.
It is imperative that the charity ensures that our compliance remains of the highest standard in order to discharge our duty of care. We see this as an investment which adds real value to all our donors giving peace of mind that funds donated are being distributed to charities who themselves have a high level of governance.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The trustees monitor the charity's performance progress against is strategic objectives and the financial performance of its operations on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the strategy and expectations using financial and non-financial measures. The most significant KPIs used by the charity are as follows:
| ty are as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| £ | £ | |
| Donations received | 71,000,000 | 65,000,000 |
| Grants and donations paid | 70,000,000 | 63,000,000 |
| Investments | 10,000,000 | 10,000,000 |
| Cash at bank | 7,100,000 | 6,900,000 |
During the year, the charity donated funds to 2,435 (2023: 2,337) different charitable institutions.
Reserves policy
At the year end, the charity's unrestricted funds stood at £2,196,995 (2023: £1,390,510) and restricted funds stood at £15,727,907 (2023: £15,924,495). Included in unrestricted funds is £256,933 of intangible assets.
Restricted funds relate to funds where the relevant donor will request funds are donated to specific recipients. Once sufficient checks are undertaken to ensure the recipient's objectives are both charitable and in line with the objectives of the Charity, then donations are made in line with these requests.
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, at a level, which the trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The trustees plan to maximise the level of donations received whilst continuing to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy and to ensure that an appropriate level of reserves is maintained.
The overall aim of the charity is to continue to grow both its revenue and client base. This is both a short term and long-term aim. These aims are to be achieved by continued excellence in-service, cutting-edge technology and a gold standard in compliance.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ACHISOMOCH AID COMPANY LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Achisomoch Aid Company Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 FRS 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 charity's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including 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 Companies Act 2006.
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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.
OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report including the strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report including the strategic report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' annual report including strategic report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) 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 the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from 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.
AUDITOR'S 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity through discussion with the trustees and identified financial reporting legislation and charity legislation as being most significant to these financial statements.
-
We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with the laws and regulations.
-
We discussed with the trustees the policies and procedures regarding compliance with these legal and regulatory frameworks.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement due to non-compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, including how fraud might occur, by enquiry with the trustees during the planning and finalisation stages of our audit. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with the identified legal and regulatory frameworks, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ACHISOMOCH AID COMPANY LIMITED (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, London, NW11 0PU.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
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.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and the functional currency of the charity is sterling, rounded to the nearest whole pound.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity and available sources of finance. The trustees recognise that they have the ability to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed below.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds
General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds are the accumulation of all donations given to the charity less commissions charged and grants distributed. These are subject to restrictions of the donor. Under normal circumstances these restrictions will be honoured if they fall within the objects of the charity.
A commission charge is made by the charity on all donations received. This charge is subsequently transferred to a separate account as unrestricted funds.
Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants, and from commission charged on them, is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
income from the payroll giving (Give As You Earn) scheme are credited to the statement of financial activities on a cash received basis.
-
interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
-
income tax recoverable in respect of gift aid donations received is accounted for on an accrual basis.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consists of capitalised development costs related to research and development activities – this class of assets is carried under the cost model.
All research costs are expensed. Costs related to the development of products are capitalised when they meet the following conditions:
-
It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
There is the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
There is the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
The use or sale of the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
There are adequate technical, financial and other resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably.
All other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Development costs
- 20% reducing balance
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments
Fixed asset investments consist of money market deposits and are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at amortised cost.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount due.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
