Treasurers Report Year End 2022/23

Start of year accounts

The orchestra started the year with a total of £15,396 in the current account and £15,080 in the reserve account.

Funding

Subscriptions were collected from members on an annual basis with the option to pay in two instalments. Subscriptions amounted to £8,055. This is more than 2021/22 but this is due to £2015 being collected in advance of the 2021/22 financial year.

Donations

A string sectional was held in March by Fiona McLean-Buechel and was funded using part of a donation made by a former string player in the orchestra.

Donations of £435 were made by members towards a leaving present for Leo. A coffee machine and gardening voucher were presented to him.

Donations of £90 were made by members towards a present for Clare which was put towards a gift voucher for the Exeter Golf and Country Club.

End of year accounts

The orchestra ended the year with a total of £17,103 in the current account and £15,243 in the reserve account. This gives a surplus across the year of £1870 - the real surplus is actually £1145 after allowing for the remaining £725 donation which is ‘ring fenced’ for a future project.

The November 22 and April 23 concerts in the cathedral were financially successful and made a surplus. The Summer concert made a small loss. However, the orchestra’s running costs (MD fees, St. Peter’s hire and administration) exceeded the income from subscriptions by a considerable amount and so the increase in subscription to £150/year was implemented from September 2023.

The accounts were inspected and approved by Exeter Community Accounting in October 2023.

to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the examiner’s statement Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

have not been met.
