Thank you for letting me have the records lo cornplcte the Standard form of Accounts

accounts and completed certificate for the year. As in the previous years, we have
found no major irregularities however I would make thc following comments.
l. We have agreed that Restricled fund balanccs al the end of the year should
bc as follows..
Benevolent fund
C,hurLh Wi)rkcr salary fund
1,932
7,758
£9,690
2. Please notc thal some rounding diffcrcnccs wcrc notcd on une item on pabye 2
and page 3 and have been adjusted. As these were only adjusiments of £1 each
this will not cause any concerns.
Our examination of ihe records found no i￿egular1tle5 or queries on the sample
select¢d. l-inally. l ¢nclos¢ Él nol¢ of my firni's chargcs, which, a5 usual I have heavily
discounted to reflect our ongoing commitment to the Church and local community.
