Dear Brian, 

## **RE:  LITTLE WENLOCK VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE – INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF ACCOUNTS, YEAR ENDED 31/12/25** 

Charity Commission documenta�on, I can confirm that I have acted independently whilst carrying out the examina�on of these accounts. 

£7,651, which is an improvement from the previous year end loss of £1,153. 

A comparison between 2024 and 2025 has been made, and I detail below an explana�on of my findings. 

- Income from total bookings, year-on-year, has increased by £2,524, approximately 15% increase.  However, pre-paid income for 2026 is down approximately 44%.  There is accrued income of £132 due from the Parish Council. 

- Dona�ons and sundry receipts are down this year from the prior year. 

- With regards to expenditure, generally most expenses have been similar to the previous year, with excep�on to the following, which have significantly decreased: 

- Keyholder lockup – decrease from £2,013 to £360 (82%) 

- Repairs and maintenance – down from £5,109 to £2,527 (50%) 

- Sundry – decreased from £3,683 to £2123 (42%) 

- Capital Expenditure during 2025 was £3,764, for the purchase of a Fire Alarm System 



Tests carried out during the examina�on to ensure the accuracy of the accoun�ng system included: 

- Verifying balances per the SPL to the General Ledger, randomly tracing a sample of transac�ons to source documenta�on. 

- 

accoun�ng ac�vi�es for the year. 

Commission, once they have been formally approved by the Commi�ee. 

Should you have any further ques�ons, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Yours sincerely, 

Hilary Payne Enc: Examiner’s report, Final Accounts and Invoice
