**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2025**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
Makes grants to indiviuals and to the organisations, to advance Jewish religious education and to relieve poverty, distress and sickness amongst Jews in any part of the world.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes as unincorporated charity.
## **Risk management**
The charity is committed to a policy of identifying, monitoring and managing those risks that might adversely affect the activities in which it is involved. In this context, risk is defined as the potential for loss, both financial and reputational, inherent in the environment in which the charity operates and in the nature of the transactions undertaken.
The Trustees believe that an appropriate review of risks is necessary, risks are ranked and periodically reviewed, and appropriate action is identified to adequately manage the consequences of the risks.
The Trustees have overall responsibility for the charity's systems of internal control that are designed by senior management in order to ensure effective and efficient operations, including financial reporting, and compliance with laws and regulations. In establishing and reviewing systems of internal control, the Trustees and senior management have regard to the materiality of relevant risks, the likelihood of loss being incurred and the cost of control.
The Trustees believe that the principal risk identified is from external sources when a change in Gift Aid regulations could affect business. Measures to reduce the risk and assess matters regularly have been taken.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Agudas Israel Organisation of Great Britain**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Agudas Israel Organisation of Great Britain**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Agudas Israel Organisation of Great Britain (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can 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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
