## Treasurer’s report 2025 Hello everyone, Since the last AGM, Malcolm and I have been continuing the handover process involving transferring over responsibilities over to myself. I have been monitoring all the accounts for each section, and the main group account, and I happy to say that the 86[th] continue to be financially stable across all areas, as you will be able to see on the AGM notes. The accounts are all in a healthy state and I have no concerns over any of the sections at this stage. Since moving all the group’s accounts to NatWest, it has made it much easier to track all payments in and out of each account and make payments much easier as well. One item that I have been tasked with completing is the implication of savings accounts for the 86[th] , to help assist the group in their aims of continuing to ensure we are equipped and ready for any emergencies that we may come across, for example any urgent maintenance work. These savings will be created soon and by establishing these savings accounts we would make sure that we can afford any unforeseen circumstances that may come are way, and we can better prepare to achieve the short- and long-term targets of the group. Over the past year we also created a support fund that was established to help assist any members of the 86[th] , who may be experiencing any financial hardship. This is to ensure that no young person misses out on any scouting activities/camps due to financial constraints. If any parent/guardian has any financial concerns then I would advise they speak to their section leaders, and we can look at assisting you where possible. We have had our regular income and expenditure items over the past year, including income from the playgroup that have been renting out our hut, and the usual expenditures of running the hut, including electricity, gas, heating, water etc. Over the last tax year, we have also spent money to get new equipment for the group, including a new gazebo, new tents, gas cannisters, fire extinguishers and many more items. I look forward to working with Matt, and all the other section leaders and volunteers to continue the great work that the 86[th] are doing and making sure we carry on achieving all the group’s financial goals. Yours in Scouting Ellis Bonser 86[th] Group Treasurer ## **86th Coventry Scout Group (Charity no. 524580)** These templates are based on Charity Commission guidance, which provides helpful notes: ## **Receipts and Payments Account** **'CC16b Receipts and Payments Accounts Introductory Notes'** The link is provided below ||**Rece**|**ipts and Pa**|**yments Ac**|**count**||**'CC16b Receipts and Payments Accounts Introductory Notes'**The link is provided below| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||Year start date||Year end date||**2023/2024**

I report in respect of my examination of the 86th Coventry Scout Group accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the 86th Coventry Scout Group as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
