l Hartford Scout Group Financial Accounts for the Year to 31 March 2023 Independent verifitation Testing w35 carried out on a sample of 50 transactions from the Income and Expenditure Accounts. The transactions were either agreed back to the source documents or from the source document back to the Income and Expenditure Accounts. Testing was also carried out to identify whether each month'5 Summary had been signed off by the Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer & that the opening and closing bank balances per the Accounts agreed back to the attual Bank Account Statements. Findings I can confirm that the testing identified no differen5 between the source documents and the Accounts & that each of the monthly summaries had been signed off by the appropriate parties. As always with these type of businesses, it is impossible to confirm with 100% assurance that all of the income generated at events was paid into the business, bank account as there are no sales invoices generated for each and every transaction. Recommendations No recommendations made. Slgn off I can confirm that the information contained in the monthly summaries for the year to 31 March 2023 are in line with the underlying transactions and that they fairly represent the data that is available to review.
