Hi Rob,
We have had a look over these accounts and from what we can see everything is looking in order.
Please see below notes made of the accounts for this year and looking back over the comparisons for last year.
- Donations are UP from last year (£88,545 to £102,708)
- Expenses have increased significantly from last year (£76,566 to £106,807) Increase in Hall services due to sink and boiler service Significant increase in hall redevelopment is due to damp remedial work Lesotho involvement increase due to polytunnel and immigration system Giving donations increase from last year Increase in salary due to Laura’s wage
- There are again some differences in the expense figures from last year but again it is minimal.
Overall profit is down largely but again this is due to reasons above.
I have attached the examiner’s report which will need to be filled when you submit the accounts.
I have also attached our fee note for your attention in due course.
Take Care
Mark
