Professor lan J Mccolm Heather Brae Shap Cumbria CAIO 3PH I have examined another set of books, accounts, receipts, and income/expenditure for the period 2020 - 2021 as presented by Shap Community Enterprise. As usual the task is made easy by the carefully kept and well-presented records through which paper trails are easy to follow for each week of the year. Both activities, the charity shop/pop-up shop and Monday lunches, have naturally suffered interruption during 2020 and so the task was even easier than normal. I have done a number of paper trails for weeks selected at random and on no occasion have I found discrepancies. Overall the accounts summary shows a strong position with substantial grant pay-outs to several local activities ranging from the School to Church and Youth organisations. An operating profit of £20,477 has enabled total grants of £5,864 to be paid during the year and a small sum to be added to the reserves whilst holding monies for agreed grants the work for which has been interrupted. The increased year end bank balance (£37,877) reflects an income stream from Grants for rate relief and Rent Holiday made possible by the Government support during the Covid crisis and it is good to see the efficient and effective way these sources were tapped into by the Enterprise. This compensated for the severe drop in operating receipts as the income generating activities were only able to operate for less than half a year. Many groups and societies in Shap and surrounding area are benefitting from this well run enterprise as the landmark of £IOO,000 in grants made during its existence was passed in the year under review, testifies to. A full collection of invoices was available and checked against the Bank Statements. Diligent recording of all receipts and for petty cash transactions made checking all outlays possible. Overall the accounts are excellently kept and they are a correct record of the business state of the enterprise. They clearly show a well-run, well supported charity enterprise. As a result of the examination I find the accounts to be a true and correct record of the financial position of Shap Community Enterprise over the period covered. Prof. Ian J Mccolm Bsc DSC. DPhil.
