Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing of resources of £19,657 for the year, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted fund balances from £3,580 to £19,611 (Note: The text states unrestricted fund balance was £19,611 at year end, but the movement shows a decrease from 3,580 to 19,611 is an increase, however the SOFA shows unrestricted funds balance at 31 May 2025 as 19,611 and at 1 June 2024 as 3,580. Wait, SOFA shows Unrestricted funds 2025 balance 19,611. 2024 balance 3,580. The movement is +16,031? No, SOFA shows Net movement in unrestricted funds (19,846). Let's re-read SOFA. Unrestricted funds 2025 balance 19,611. 2024 balance 3,580. The net movement is (19,846). 3,580 - 19,846 = -16,266. This contradicts the balance of 19,611. Let's look at Note 15. Balance at 1 June 2024: 3,580. Incoming: 85,274. Expended: (104,931). Transfers: 35,877. Gains: (189). 3,580 + 85,274 - 104,931 + 35,877 - 189 = 19,611. Correct. So the unrestricted fund increased from 3,580 to 19,611. The net outgoing in the SOFA for unrestricted is (19,846) which seems to be a calculation error in the document or my reading. SOFA says Net movement in funds for Unrestricted is (19,846). But the balance moved from 3,580 to 19,611. This is a discrepancy in the document. However, the narrative should reflect the stated balances. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £19,611 against a policy target of six months' expenditure. With total expenditure of £104,931, six months is approx £52,465. The reserves are below the policy target.
