To whom It m
Concefn
I have been en8aqed to give an opinion on the Financial Statements Prepared for the 3rd Wiltshire
IW•rminsterl 8P Scouts for the 2024125 FIMnc•al Year.
I would offer the followiry comments.
The opening and ck>siNd bank b•lan¢es match those on the Income and Expenditure Financi•l
Statements.
There are no 8alanct Sheets f¢x the FinancHI Years In quest#￿.
The current Treasurer has not requtsted anv.
Capital expenditure and Income are treated as Revenue Items as they are small •nd of no material
consequence.
In
dllur
The current Tre•sLbrer Is usin¢ spreadsheets to keep record of all incorne and expenditure.
As l am not engaged to Audit the records I ha¥e made a sample check of the records and everythini
appears to be In order.
The resulting nominal b•l•nces f¢x e•ch Itern of income and expenditure were sufficienl to prepare
an In¢omt and Expenditure Statement for each year.
l am a qualtfied Book Keeper. I have used my best Professional judgement to make this feport.
However I cannot accept any fesponsibility fty errors or non factual statements In the fi¥ufes and
explanations provided to me.
