Provide a brief review of the financial position of the charity. This should include the principal types of income.
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Financial The main income into the PRI Fund is from the PRI Shop
Review sales, due to the civil service PID being removed there has
not been a steady Manager for the PRI Shop, this is resulting
in the income to the PRI Fund significantly decreasing
throughout the past year. We are looking at how we can
resolve this issue. Without the PRI Shop sales it is hard to
determine how long we can maintain a steady output that is
required by the Fund to Support the SPs on the Garrison. We
are in the Process of amalgamating the Commanders Fund
into the PRI Fund which should give the PRI Fund an uplift
for a period of time.

Public Benefit This fund provides public benefit by assisting service
Statement personnel to more effectively perform their roles within the
Armed Forces of the Crown. It does this by providing
sporting and adventurous training activities to all service
personnel. This assistance enables service personnel to face
the challenges and danger associated with military service
by developing and maintaining teamwork; skills; confidence,
character, spirit, attitude; and morale. As a result the fund
promotes the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown by
enhancing the British Army’s capability to undertake the
roles demanded of it including the defence of the United
Kingdom and its interests. I confirm that I have paid due
regard to the Charity Commission of England and Wales
guidance on public benefit when deciding what activities the
charity should undertake.

## Internal Auditor
Wednesday, October 12, 2022 2:07 PM
Internal Auditor’s ~~/Audit Board~~ Report
1. *I ~~/We~~ have examined the books of account and records from which the final accounts were prepared and have obtained all the information and explanations that were necessary for the purpose of *my ~~/our~~ internal audit.
2. *I ~~/We~~ certify that end of period checks have been conducted in accordance with Service Funds Regulations.
3. Subject to the observations given below I am ~~/we are~~ * satisfied that proper books of account have been kept and that the final accounts give a true and fair view of the results of transactions over the period and of the state of the Fund’s affairs as at the date of the balance sheet. Subject also to *my ~~/our~~ observations *I am ~~/we~~ are satisfied that cash and bank balances and stocks on hand have been properly checked at prescribed intervals and that adequate insurance exists.
4. *I ~~/We~~ have stamped and signed the original books of account and the original records I ~~/we~~ have checked. All vouchers relating to this account period have been cancelled.
5. *I ~~/We~~ have made the following observations whilst carrying out the internal audit:
a. Previous observations *have ~~/have not~~ been actioned.
b. In Aug 21, the PRI shop operative (E1) was promoted out of post, LWC directed that the E1 Civil Service position was to be disestablished. Initially the GAO, with willing members of the team, managed the post by revising the job descriptions of the Post Room E1 and Resettlement E1 so that the shop could open 2 days a week. An on line shop was available which helped to bring funds into the PRI account. As of Apr 22, due to LTS, the shop had to be closed only opening for the odd day when requested CO RACTR and to meet the requirement of ITT Families Days. This is the reason for the account balance being low, there is no longer a shop to generate income. Processes are being looked at to employ a casual worker to either run the shop or an online facility.
c. Debtors Rogers and Ingham refer to Welfare Grants and will; be cleared when funds from Regional Command are released.
d. This fund is well managed and reviewed regularly by the FM.
