For a number of reasons at the beginning of the year little infomation was provided
regarding amounts paid into the bank so that analysis between hall hire. coffee
momings, bingo etc is unknown. The book kept by the caretaker indicates what
cash has been received for hall hire and some infonnalion has Sin￿ been obtsined
regarding coffee momings and bingo but there sb'll remains a considerable sum of
unidentified bankings.
Breakdown of bankings should indicate what monies were received for and what
cash has been expended.
Best practi￿ in dealing wth funds should be that a limit is set for cash payments and
cheques or bank transfers to be the preferred method of payment. All cash
payments should be backed up with receipts.
All bank statements should be passed to the treasurer
Two comments below from last year
I note that the CAF Cuffent account has not been used during th8 year but has
incuffed a monthly charge however l Unde￿tand that this account is to be closed.
There is a lot of money in the Lloyds Current account. Unless this is needed in lh8
immediat8 fvkuro could some b8 transfeffed to the deposit account to eam a litt18 bit
of interesf?
While there is a deficit for the year this is partly due to the retum of unused grant
monies and the purchase of assets.
