It was not possible to verify the cash in hand opening or closing balances. No checks were made on the cash in hand account, other than the transfers to the NatWest and COOP current account.
The charity took possession of a nearly new minibus in 2020. For the purpose of the accounts, the minibus has been reduced by 10% in value from the previous year. It may be prudent to obtain a valuation next year, to see if the 10% reduction reflects the actual value of the minibus (should it be sold).
