BUSHEY RANGERS
ACCOUNTANTS REPORT
Accounts for the year 6[th] April 2020 – 5[th] April 2021
I can confirm that I have checked and validated the Accounts for Bushey Rangers for the 2020/21 Financial Year.
All Financial Statements have been compiled in accordance with Accounting Standards and all entries are consistent with previous years.
Income
All Income was analysed and reconciled with the Bank, there were no outstanding items at the end of the financial year.
The Bar Cash reconciliation forms were accounted for correctly in the accounts and reconciled with the bank. Account numbers referencing the entries were included on the forms.
Income for the Bar and Football memberships/events continue to be banked and analysed separately.
There continues to be cash transactions through the year. Where appropriate, this should be limited to keep tight controls and to protect those handling cash. If cash transactions continue, the appropriate measures should be put in place. All transactions need to be authorized by an appropriate Committee member before any cash is used. If a physical signature is not possible then an electronic confirmation is sufficient. This should also have the reference number in the accounts clearly marked on the authorisation form and dated. Where possible, invoices should always be received, cheques issued or bank transfers made instead of paying or refunding items out of cash balances, with the appropriate authorisations.
Expenditure
All expenditure was analysed under the appropriate headings and there were no unidentified payments or outstanding items in the accounts at the end of the financial year.
On spot checking, all expenses had the appropriate paperwork to substantiate the payment. If a receipt or Creditor statement is not possible then a written record, that’s signed and dated by the Treasurer to validate the payment, needs to be included with the accounts. Such paperwork was included but a signature was not added.
A Stock take was performed, and this was recorded in the financial statements correctly. The net book value of the Fixed Asset; the Clubhouse, continues to be depreciated on a fixed 50year term basis, which is consistent with previous years. This is also recorded in the Balance sheet and the depreciation expense for the year was charged to the P&L.
The outstanding Heineken Loan continues to be recorded in the Balance sheet correctly. As there is only a small balance now remaining, this only falls under Creditors due within 1 year.
The Club is still deregistered for VAT, this continues to be a recommendation as taxable supplies are below the taxable threshold.
There were no outstanding items from 2019/20 and no unpresented cheques at the end of the Financial Year 2020/21.
Comparisons
Total Income has decreased over the past year by 15%. However, Total Expenses are down on last year by 19%. This has resulted in the Club making an overall profit for the year of £4.2k.
Main Points to Note:
-
The Bar Net Profit has increased to 14% v 8% in 19/20.
-
The combined Bar/Clubhouse loss increased from -£6.1k in 19/20 to -£10.5k in the current year, but this is mainly due to refurbishment works which are not usually carried out to such a level.
-
Football Income has decreased for the year by 22.5%. This is mainly due to the Boys 6-aside event that had to be cancelled. Expenses are down considerably by 57% as a result of reduced training, kit purchases, cancelled 6-aside and charity donations. This resulted in profit increasing from £10.1k in 19/20 to £14.7k in 20/21; a substantial increase.
-
Retained profit has remained consistent at £4k.
-
All the above has been significantly impacted by Covid-19 where National lockdowns and major social restrictions have impacted the Clubhouse and Football activities during the year.
Recommendations
2
-
The club was under the Taxable Supplies threshold for the Financial Year 2020/21 and therefore should remain de-registered for VAT under Schedule 1 of the HM Revenue and Customs Requirements to Deregister, for the next Financial Year 2021/22, providing that Taxable Supplies over a rolling 12-month period, will not be above the VAT Registration threshold of £85,000 during that period.
-
To record Cash receipts/payments and to keep a working document of any cash transactions where applicable.
-
To obtain authorisation of any bank transfer to an individual linked to the club by an appropriate Committee Member.
-
The Cash Reconciliation forms to be signed by the Treasurer as complete and accurate.
In conclusion, I can confirm that the Accounts give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity.
