Good afternoon Jodie
I have finished looking at the books.
Your yearly summary did not add up even thought the bank balanced so I worked out why and corrected the individual months.
I have attached the corrected file so you can update your copy of the records so it all works in the future if anyone looks back.
Apart from that everything else was in order so I will return the books to playgroup at my first opportunity.
Do you have anything you need me to sign for the charities commission?
Kind regards
Carol

Hi Carol
I hope you’re ok and had a good weekend.
Please could I just check that you received the file ok?
Many thanks
Jodie
