We have not done a set of accounts as was agreed back in August 2024 when you said that you input the figures from the accounts sheet you provided to us for audit to the Charity Commissioners direct. If you require us to start doing a set of accounts for 31-07-2026 please let me know. Do you need a set for 2025, or are you okay with the accounts summary you produce for that year. Please see below – will this suffice? Middleton Accountancy Services Limited, Chartered Accountants, can confirm that the accounts for Alkrington Community Centre for the year ends 31-7-2023, 31-07-2024 and 31-07-2025 have been audited and verified and confirm that no material matters have come to our attention in connection with the examination.
