The Trustees of The Lady Margaret Hungerford Charity Bank House 9 Tutton Hill Colerne

12 October 2021

Dear Trustees

I have completed the preparation and review of the Charity accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021. I have no matters to bring to your attention. However, given the changes to the trustees in the current year I would highlight the following:

  1. A key feature of internal financial control is to ensure that no individual is responsible for transactions and wherever possible there is segregation of duties.

  2. At regular intervals there should be an independent review of the bank statements to ensure that reconciliations are taking place and that there is no impropriety.

  3. There should be an annual review of the charity reserves policy to ensure that there is a balance between ensuring that the future costs are considered and planned for but there are not excessive funds carried forward.

If you have any queries, please call.

Yours sincerely

A rise of 0.70/0 was introduced rom I st April 2020 in accordance with the policy of annual changes in line with the Consumer Price Index annual movement in the previous September. Due to the coronavirus crisis thepublicroomshavebeen closcd and are not expected to re-open until later in theyear, this has had a negative effect on Income. Regrettably dueto theproblems in the schoolroomthepublicrooms will notbe able to be used as the partof the successful Peacock Trail where a wide range of local artists displayed and sold their workfor a week. The structural problems in the school room have provcd to befar more serious than expectedwhen first discovered. Microdnllingand other investigations found that thetimbers had dcteriorated dueto damp penetration and damage by wood boring insects. Consultant's fees for invcstigatin these problcms have cost thc Charity nearly £14,000 this year. This is expect to increase considerably before proved <ind the rectificationwork can start. There is Listed Buildingconsent is aiould havebeen discovered 20 years a a view that these problems s o when the major refurbishmenttookplace and that the drasticdeteriorationo could not possibly havehappened since then. At tliis time we do not know w'hat thecost of this work willbe biit it is Rikely to be substantial and makea seriousdent in the Charity'sfinancial reserves. The Educational Charity Fund is unchanged £4,0(K). In summary, it has been an interestingand stressfvl year tryingto mana through ihesevariousdifyiculties.
