## **PAKEFIELD SINGERS** 

## **AGM 2025** 

## **REPORT OF ACTING TREASURER** 

The Statement of Accounts and Balance Sheet has been circulated with the AGM papers. The accounts and supporting vouchers have been submitted to John Eade our Independent Examiner of Accounts and his certificate is attached. 

I would like to express my thanks to John for completing his work so promptly and for his associated informal observations and advice. 

The Statement of Accounts shows a small overall deficit of £69.18. However, it should be noted that the Gift Aid receipts were £2,748.22 more than the previous year. This was due to us being able to claim Gift Aid on the donation we received towards the Snape concert. It will not be available in 2025/26. The underlying deficit should be read as being increased by that amount and is mainly attributable to costs of the Snape concert that fell in this year rather than the previous year. 

If the above extra amount of Gift Aid and concert receipts and payments are ignored, Members Subs and the excellent Fundraising efforts meet the other running costs. 

There was a full record of Petty Cash expenditure but the previous year’s records did not enable the carried forward Petty Cash Balance from the previous year to be verified. A correction figure of £2.41 has been added to the accounts as otherwise the difference in funds would disagree by that amount with the difference between receipts and payments. Correcting this now will avoid the same happening at the end of 2025/26.
