In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - To keep accounting records in accordance with the requirements of the Charity Commission; and - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charity Commission have not been met: ## **Comments:** The financial report format continues to work well. It is easy to check the balances from the bank statements and identify from the account sheet the income and expenditure amounts. I see that you have implemented the suggestion to use the categories as column headers. Unfortunately it does not seem to have reduced your workload. You now have 800+ rows when you had 655 rows in 2023!!! Sorry!! Would it work better to separate the accounts into monthly income and expenditure? The totals would then link into an annual summary sheet and then into the Financial Report. The advantage is that every entry would automatically update the summaries and the Financial Report. If you are interested I can send you a draft that I have used in the past for colleagues Trust that this is of use Regards ## Robin 1
