## **NORTH MANCHESTER REFORM SYNAGOGUE LIMITED Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity** ## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees** ## **on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended31 March 2026** I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2026, which are set out on pages 10 to 21. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The Charity's trustees, who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Act does not apply and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to section 476 of the Companies Act 2006, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:- a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act; b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and; c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken** I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales setting out the duties of an independent examiner issued by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act) in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters. 1 ## **Independent Examiner's Statement, report and opinion** Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above , in connection with my examination , I can confirm that 1) In accordance with Regulation 31 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, (The Regulations) the accounts of this incorporated charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006; 2) this is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commission under subsection (5)(b) of that section which are applicable; and that no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; (ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and; (iii) that the financial statements be prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in my report in order to enable a proper The Examiner's relevant professional qualification or body is: Certified Practising Accountant Stephen J McDonald B.Sc., I.C.P.A.

However, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, the accounts have been examined by an Independent Examiner whose report appears on pages 8 to 9. The directors acknowledge their responsibility for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to the small companies' regime. ## **Mrs M Goldstone** **Trustee Approved by the board of trustees on 10 August 2026** **The notes on pages 14 to 18 form an integral part of these accounts.** 4 **NORTH MANCHESTER REFORM SYNAGOGUE LIMITED Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## _**Basis of preparation of the accounts**_ The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice. ## _**Accounting convention**_ The financial statements are prepared,on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. ## _**Incoming Resources**_ Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis. ## _**Recognition of liabilities**_ Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the SORP. ## _**Resources Expended**_ The policy for including items within the relevant activity categories of resources expended is at the discretion of the trustees. In particular the policy for including items within costs of charitable activities and governance costs is ## _**Charitable activities**_ Comprises 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 to support them. ## _**Governance costs**_ Governance costs shall include all expenditure directly related to the administration of the charity including expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 5 **NORTH MANCHESTER REFORM SYNAGOGUE LIMITED Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026** ## _**Fixed assets and depreciation**_ All tangible fixed assets, except freehold land and buildings, are stated at cost less depreciation. Freehold land and buildings are stated at cost with no provision for depreciation being made. Items of less than £100 are not capitalised. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their estimated residual value ) over their estimated useful economic lives. Cemetary prayer room 2% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 15% reducing balance ## _**Taxation**_ As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company , and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## _**Funds structure policy**_ The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment. A property maintenance reserve is maintained as a provision against any material property repairs. An over 64 burial fund is held on deposit for those members who have prepaid for their burial. There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above. Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances. ## **2 Winding up or dissolution of the charity** If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity. |**3**|**Surplus for the financial year**|**2026**|**2025**| |---|---|---|---| |||**£**|**£**| ||**This is stated after crediting :-**||| ||**Revenue Turnover from ordinary activities**|159,664|120,259| ||**and after charging:-**||| ||Depreciation of owned fixed assets|1,749|1,648| ||Independent Examiner's Fees|1,320|1,260| ||Other fees paid to the examiner|204|339| 6 ## **NORTH MANCHESTER REFORM SYNAGOGUE LIMITED Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026** - **4 Detailed analysis of certain transactions required by the 2005 revision to the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2005 and revised May 2008)** Various items of support costs and charitable expenditure which are required by the SORP to be disclosed in the notes to the accounts are set out in the Detailed Schedule to the Statement of Financial Activities which should be read together with these notes. |**5**|**Staff Costs and Emoluments**|**2026**|**2025**| |---|---|---|---| |||**£**|**£**| ||Gross Salaries|33,561|26,723| ||**Numbers of full time employees or full time equivalents**|**2026**|**2025**| ||Engaged on charitable activities|2|3| ||There were no fees or other remuneration paid to the trustees||| ## **6 Tangible functional fixed assets** |**Freehold**
