Examiner’s Report
I have examined, without audit, the accounts, bank statements and other supporting documents presented to me by the Trustees of Herons Ghyll Driving Group RDA for the year ended 5 April 2024.
As is usual for this type and size of charity there are items that cannot be verified. However, I have found no reason to doubt the accuracy and validity of these accounts.
