With th8 exception of the Summer Ball, all income and expenses relatlng to all of the abov&mentioned eventslsources wér8 received or incurred during the year ended 31 August 2024 and are therefore included in the FOHSA accounts for that period. For the Summer Ball, however, Ihe invoices for the catering costs (of £5k) were not received until after 31 August 2024. As the FOHSA accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis, these amounts will therefore be included in the FOHSA accounts for year ended 31 August 2025.
