Report to Sturton by Stow Primary Fund 26 May 2023
The following checks were performed in order to complete an independent examination of the accounts for Sturton by Stow Primary Fund for the year ending 31 August 2022.
Assurance has been gained through discussion with Stewart Brinn, Administrator, examination of bank statements and the provision of emails and scanned invoices and receipts.
-
A check that the overall income and expenditure declared was consistent with supporting bank statements. No material errors were identified and income and expenditure reconciled with the final accounts.
-
An examination of online bank payments made confirmed that they were appropriate and they were either:
-
Income received was from Swans Nest, the wrap around childcare offered by the school.
-
Monthly account fees.
-
Supported by an invoice, receipt or email from an independent source.
No concerns relating to material errors were identified and the bank payments were monitored and recorded appropriately.
No examination of the Petty Cash fund receipts and payments was required as the petty cash balance remained at £0, per the previous year. Reliance has been placed on the Administrator to confirm that the petty cash in hand at 31 August 2022 amounted to £0.
Income has been compared to bank statements and details of income generating activities were evidenced, with no inconsistencies in the accounts have been identified.
In conclusion, accounting records were well kept and up to date. I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report, in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
