FINCHLEY REFORM SYNAGOGUE

Promotion of Judaism in the spheres of public worship, religious, educational, social, cultural and charitable activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
Why are there 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
