The attached accounts show a breakdown of the basic assets and liabilities for the District, for year ending 31[st] March 2023. 

During this financial year I uncovered a Fraud/Theft, which had been going on for a number of years. The Charities Commission have been made aware. The offence is currently under investigation by the Police, and we are still waiting on a charging decision from CPS along with a full breakdown of the monies stolen. As such we are not able to get our Annual Accounts examined. 

As a District we continue to provide Online Scout Manager (OSM) for all of our Groups. This is a large commitment for the District, but we feel it is money well spent, as it undoubtedly makes the lives of our volunteers much easier. This is something we would like to continue providing looking to the future.
