What the accounts disclose
“It is the charity’s policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to at least one month’s unrestricted payments, equivalent to £80,000, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.” — page 10
“Total remuneration paid to these two trustees amounted to £44,088.51 (2024: £38,468). These transactions constitute related party transactions under FRS 102 Section 33 and the Charities SORP, as the individuals involved are trustees of the charity.”
“During the course of our audit, we noted that certain aspects of the Charity’s internal control environment particularly around financial oversight and debtor management were less robust than would typically be expected for an organisation of this size.” — page 15
