Explorers Prn S¢hool (Henstridze)_Charity Number lQ278QZ 1. Accounts Review I have reconciled the Chaity's CAF Bank Accounts and the Lloyds Bank Account to agree 8n¢ confirm thè closing cash accounts as recorded in Section 81 Cash Funds of the Charity Commission Retum. I can agree that the A1 Receipts less the A3 Payments figure is corrertly reflected in the C8sh movement between Cash at the end of the previous year and the end of this year. I have tound no evidence that any entry should be made in A2 or A4 of the Retum. 2. Limitations of this Report I have not audited whether each item of Expendrture has been correctlv allocated to the individual cost centres. 3. Observations In the 2020-2021 Report it W89 recommended that Petty Cash should be reconciled more regularly. I can confirm that controls are now in place but the Petty Cash balance 01 £6 has not been included in the reiurn. 4.
