Forder Community and Conservation Association Treasurer's Report for Financial Year ending 31/1/2023 The accounts for the financial year 2022/2023 show a "paper" loss of £8,946 which is a result of grants being received in the financial year 2021/2022 but spent in the financial year 202212023. The major expense in this year was the replacement of decking which formed part of the disabled access to the hall, especially used during local and national elections. Grants were obtained in 202112022 but not spent until 2022/2023. The cost of the replacement of the decking was £10,419 and the grant received was £6,300. The year ends with an increase in the Resenie Fund of £467. Cash in hand was slightly depleted, £38 as opposed to £116. The current account shows considerable difference, but this was where the funds for the decking replacement were held, thereby distorting this figure. The accounts were audited and certified as being a true and correct record of the financial position and the transactions of the year from l February 2022 to 31" January 2023.
