Mr Ian Bond
Friends of Great Bedwyn Church Trust
## **Friends of Great Bedwyn Church Trust Accounts 2023 - 2024**
## Dear Ian,
At your request, I have reviewed the financial accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 and have compared them to the cashbook and the other records provided to me. Furthermore, I have confirmed that the ‘receipts and payments’ method of accounting that has been used for this reporting period is still appropriate as the organisation has not met the £250,000 income threshold whereby ‘accruals based’ accounting would become applicable.
I find that suitable accounting records have been kept for fundraising activities through the 12 months.
I find that the accounts agree to the books and records and that the format in which they are presented would give a reader a true and reasonable view of the Trust’s financial results and position.
I have not conducted an audit.
Yours sincerely
Katharine Challen
ACCA Membership Number: 3488150
