My name is Sue Woolstencroft and I have examined the accounts for Norton Sport Club for the year I" January 2023 st to 31 December 2023. The charity reference number is 522705 and the club is based in Stoke on Trent. I have been provided with the accounts, invoices and receipts from the year identified. I have checked the charity website and discussed with the chairman and confirm that the accounts sit in the threshold for independent examination but not necessarily with an accountant. I have no close relationship with any of the trustees, nor do I have any connection to the day to day running of the club. l am suitably educated to overview the accounts and check that books are in order. I have been provided with an overview of the club constitution and trustee meeting notes, all of which are signed and dated and in order. All trustees are agreed that an independent verification is required due to the amount of income being above £25,0(K), this is in line with advice offered by the Charities Commission. On examination of the accounts I verify the following details: The folder presented for verification is clearly organised and shows monthly invoices/receipts and income in an organised fashion so information is easily found Trustees meet regularly with treasurer and monthly financial update is given at these meetings Spreadsheet overview of accounts demonstrate that incoming and outgoing monies are properly accounted for There 15 clear and coherent practice A reimbursement system is in place It is clear that the source for incoming monies is from reliable sporting sources and pays for premises and facilities use Monies generated are immediately put back into the club via maintenance and upkeep projects, new initiatives and future planning Direct debit arrangements have been made wherever possible The carry forward from previous year is identified and previous year overview has been made available The total amount of money paid in and paid out is balanced correctly as seen in final overview submitted with the declaration Signed Position Date
