“No actual cash count was completed at the year end, the cash figure in the accounts is an estimate based on workings from Magic Moments. The issue was caused by the bank issuing cheque book with the wrong information so could not be used, the bank closing in the city centre and not having a bank card so not able to bank any cash or cheques at the post office.” — page 9
