Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Related-party transaction: The document states the Council is the ultimate controlling party and the charity makes donations to the Archdiocese of Westminster and Archbishop's House, which are related entities, but does not explicitly disclose specific transaction amounts as 'related party transactions' in a dedicated note with amounts linked to trustees. However, Note 7 states 'The Society is ultimately under the control of the Council.' and the objects mention donations to the Archdiocese. Given the strict rule to only extract what is explicitly stated as a related party transaction with who/what/amount, and the lack of a specific 'Related Party Transactions' note detailing amounts paid to trustees or connected bodies beyond general charitable giving, this field is best left empty or null if no explicit 'related party' label is used for the payments. The prompt asks for 'disclosed related-party transactions'. The document does not use the term 'related party' for the donations to the Archdiocese. It only states the Council controls the society. I will leave this empty as no explicit RPT disclosure with amounts is present.
