A desrJiptFon of
the principal
risks facing the
charity
In nomial years. some productions make a surplus from ticket
and ancillary refreshmenl sales occasionally supplemented by
very welcome dOnat￿n8.
P•r•
The Charty has insufficient funds to invest in anything beyond
its own actwities.
Para
The Charity is reliant on surpluses from the annual pantomime
to replenish tts reserves. There is no risk of insolvency as the
Charty has sufficient reserves to cover general expenditure and
subsidise a number of Ioss-making productions. It is also the
Trustees, policy never to incur liabllrt￿S or make commitments
that the Players are unable to pay for OLrt of current funds or, in

I report to the tharity trustees on my examinats'on of the accounts of the
Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The

examination is needed.
It is my responsibility lo..
examine the accounts urKler section 145 of the Chanties Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Chanty Commission {uThJer section 14515)Ib) of the ChantEs Act, and
to state particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Direclions given by
the Charity Commission. An examination includes a rewew of the a¢¢ounb'ng
records kept by the charity and a companson of the accounts presented with
those records. It also includes consKlerats"on of any unusual rtems or disclosures
in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees conceming any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provKle all the evidence that would
be required in an audit. and consequenlly no opinion is given as to whether the
accounts Present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters
