2024
l. Accounts Review
I have reconciled the Charity's two CAF Bank Accounts and the Lloyds Bank Account
to agree and confirm the closing cash accounts as recorded in Section Bl Cash Funds
of the Charity Commission Return.
I can agree that the Al Receipts less the A3 Payments figure is correctly reflected in
the Cash movement between Cash at the end of the previous year and the end of thls
year.
I have found no evidence that any entry should be made in A2 or A4 of the Return.
2. Llmltations of this Report
I have not audited whether each item of Expenditure has been correctly allocated to
the individual cost centres.
3. Opinion
l am happy to confirm that the Charity's accounts for the period I September 2023 to
31 August 2024 are satisfactory and are supported by adequate records.
