The income for 2024/25 (conference 12 Year) was artificially inflated by late receipts for 2023/24 conference 11 Year), which was a one off situation. Action has been taken to ensure this situation will not recur.

Accounting Records and Missing Receipt

During the financial year, the charity incurred three expenditure item for which the original receipt could not be obtained. In line with the charity’s financial procedures and the Charity Commission’s expectations that charities maintain clear and accurate accounting records, the trustees reviewed alternative evidence supporting this payment, including the relevant bank statement entry and a signed declaration confirming the purpose and validity of the expenditure. Three missing recpept forms have been submitted with the accounts and sign by a trustee.

The trustees are satisfied that the payment was made wholly in support of the charity’s activities and that appropriate steps were taken to verify and document the transaction. The charity continues to maintain robust financial controls consistent with accepted receipts-and-payments accounting principles for smaller charities, and no concerns have arisen regarding misuse of funds. The trustees consider this an isolated administrative issue with no material impact on the charity’s financial position or governance.
