## **To the trustees of Moortown West Community Association** 

## **Please note that this letter is addressed to each member of your trustee board.  I suggest that it is copied to each member and considered at your next meeting.** 

Dear Trustees 

Please print out a minimum of two copies of the accounts emailed to you. 

Would you please arrange for each copy to be approved by the trustees, signed in black ink (on the trustees’ annual report and the statement of assets and liabilities pages). Please then either email me a scan of your signed accounts or (if that is difficult) attach a photo of just the signed pages. 

I will then email you my examiner’s report with a jpeg signature which you can print and insert into your original signed copy. I will also email you a pdf version of the accounts which show the name of the person who signed the accounts and the date signed for the purpose of filing at the Charity Commission. 

The Charity Commission prefers to have the accounts filed online and the pdf version of the accounts referred to above will enable you to do this. Receipt is required at the Charity Commission no later than 10 months from the end date of your latest accounts. Please do not scan and pdf the signed accounts as this will create a file which is too big for filing. 

I would like to thank Gareth Poole for the records provided and responding to my queries during the course of my work. 

## **Observations and recommendations** 

Enclosed is a sheet setting out my observations and recommendations.  Please consider these and do not hesitate to contact me for further information or advice on any of the issues raised. WYCAS can provide training and support to help you make improvements; call us or visit our website (details at bottom right of this letter). 

WYCAS would like to thank you for your custom.  We would appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete our short on-line survey.
