This included checking the bank statements against the Beacon Cash Book and invoices, and ensuring the Beacon records are translated accurately into the Income and Expenditure account and the balance sheet. In my opinion, having carried out the audit from the accounting records, information and explanations supplied to me, I am satisfied that they reflect a full, accurate and fair view of the financial affairs of Ripon and District U3A as at 31 March 2024. **Alan Rayner** Honorary Auditor
