B- Overall review
In carrying out my review I have ￿*ererttd the folk)wing files
Uganda Account 23-24.xls
UK Income and Expenses 2023 to 2024.xls
These files were revlewed as presented by the Treasury Lynn Mosher.
On review I found the analy515 and categorization of expenses to ￿ well carrled out and could See no
errors in my review
Gift aid was checked against the submissions made.
Furthermore I have worked with the Treasury to establish 8ood practice In anatysing income for next
year.
Following1o5t years reV￿W all exchange differences were correctly calculated and procedural
Improvements discussed last year have been successfulfy Implemented.

C- Financial Statement Review
In carrying out my review of the financial statements which were presented balanced and in good order.
l identified an error in the analysis of income as some money transferred from cash to the bank was
included as income and was artualty realted to last year5 income.
This was discussed with the treasU￿r and corrected.
The accounts were accurate and well prepared.
