Sue Dent Communit Pro

Dear Sue,
Re: The Charlotte Harve
Trust Re
istered Charit 304104
As requested, I have today carried out an examination of the accounts for the above charity
for the Financial Year 2023124. This involved checking the printed bank statements,
supplier invoices and client bills against the records obtained from the SCRIBE software
system and viewing online reports on the actual SCRIBE system.
Examination
From my examination of the paper records and the information shown on the SCRIBE
system I can say there are no discrepancies when comparing bank records with supplier
bills received or client invoices issued. The SCRIBE records accurately reflect both
transactions and the actual Bank and Petty Cash figures.
Recommendations
In my last examination I raised the issue that the accounts do not provide any costs for
those staff employed by the Sole Trustee, Watton Town Council. The accounts do now
show the cost of the Food Hub Manager but not the Caretaker or the Community Projects
Officer
Presently the true operating cost of the charity is obscured and most importantly
Councillors do not have a clear picture of what staff hours are needed to run the Charity.

The Trustee has a duty to ensure that accurate accounts are produced and presently it
could be argued that not including the cost of the Caretaker distorts the true position of the
Charity. l understand that the Caretaker has no other WTC related duties.
In the case of the Community Projects Officer it may be argued that the position is less clear
but, at a minimum, the situation with "free" loan of these Council staff should be
mentioned in the Annual Report.
It is clear from the accounts that the Charity is in a sound financial condition and the only
additional recommendation I would make is that the Trustee should consider registering
with HMRC for Gift Aid. Some monetary donations are now being received and will be
eligible for Gift Aid. The registration process is straightforward and there are no costs
involved.
Yours sincerely
Phil Kibler
