In this past year FADLOS has produced two produc8ons, Rapunzel Pantomime and Everybody’s talking about Jamie musical both were a success.
As agreed by the Socie8es members we have started using a computerised accoun8ng soGware and double authorisa8on on the finances.
We worked closely with care homes and schools in the areas and community groups to offer discounted 8ckets to make sure the shows were affordable. The group also took part in lots of community ac8vi8es fundraising and made dona8ons to other local chari8es.
No outstanding debts.

| I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended31/05/2024. As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. [I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: |
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
- Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.

Section B Disclosure
Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).
Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose .
The charity is now using the HMRC cash books and templates, this is much easier for everything to be processed and audited.
Paying cash into the account is a problem for the charity as they do not have access to a bank locally anymore.
I have told the Trustees that paying cash in to themselves and then they BACS to the charity is not good practise however it has all been done clearly and openly with more than one Trustee overseeing and it is for relatively small amounts.
