We had been exempted from this during Covid but now need to resume submitting annual returns which include uploading accounts from 2023 onwards and confirming these have been independently reviewed. Dawn used to look after this and I think she used a work colleague to do the independant check. I was wondering if you would be willing to cast your eye over these accounts and fulfill the checker role for me? See below screenshot of the declaration the annual return is looking for me to complete. Let me know your thoughts if you'd be able to help? For the accounts themselves, I've just used all the same templates as Dawn previously would of used. I have taken a full download of all bank transactions and just allocated against the existing categories. See attached. Note: 2023 accounts show a higher than usual loss (£11k) as there were some large one-off expenditure items for Hall Maintenance plus some income from subs and EA grant top up that wasn't banked until the new year.
