## **Wordfest Calne - Financial Report Year Ending 5[th] April 2025** 

I have completed an Audit of the transactions recorded and found no issues. In addition, I worked on some of the reporting for Wordfest. My duties were at arm’s length and didn’t conflict with my role as an independent reviewer of Wordfest’s financial transactions. 

While there are changes have been made by the Charity Commission to the running and reporting for Charities there are no changes that affect Wordfest currently. However, I continue to feel that it is appropriate that financial information should be openly disclosed to the Trustees. This information is more detailed than is disclosed publicly. 

In respect to Trustees, it must be declared if the Trustees are being paid and whether there are any related party transactions. As Auditor I have seen no evidence of payments being made to Trustees (costs incurred for the Charities’ benefit are not declarable). I have not seen any transactions which may questionable, but I must request that Trustees should advise if they are aware of any related party transactions, this will be an agenda item at the AGM. 

Should there be any questions on this or any of the points in the report please contact myself.

## Calne Wordfest Charity No 1179429 Audit Report Year to 5[th] April 2025 

The accounts have been prepared by Lorna and audited by myself. Information has been provided to me (e.g., copy transactions and bank statements) enabling checks on the accuracy of the information and the end of year balances. 

Activities undertaken were in conformance with Calne Wordfest’s mission statement as filed with the Charities Commission. 

All expense items have been recorded; no Trustee received any benefits in the year. 

No Trustee notified me of there being any related party transactions and there were no transactions seen that caused me to request additional information in this regard. In summary the year’s results were: 

|**Year 2024/25**|**Income**|**Expenses**|**Balance**|
|---|---|---|---|
|B/Fwd|||£9,431|
|Activities|£929|£2,201|-£1,272|
|Donations|£51|£0|£51|
|Expenses|£0|£708|-£708|
|Other|£0|£0|£0|
|**Grand Total**|**£980**|**£2,910**|**£7,502**|



I confirm my willingness to assist and audit the accounts in the next financial year.
