What the accounts disclose

Related-party transaction: The document discloses a working relationship with Christian Bookshop Ossett (CBO) for sales and dispatch, and notes that Dr Matthew Hyde is remunerated as an author/editor. However, specific transaction amounts for these related party dealings are not explicitly stated as distinct line items with values in the notes, preventing a precise 'who, what, amount' extraction for the flags. The remuneration of Dr Hyde is disclosed as £16,068 total for key management personnel, but this is aggregated with other KMP costs or specific to his employment, not explicitly labeled as a 'related party transaction' in the standard sense of a distinct commercial deal with a connected entity in the notes provided. The prompt asks for 'disclosed related-party transactions (who, what, amount)'. The text says 'Our collaboration with Jeremy and Lorna Roe, directors of Christian Bookshop, Ossett (CBO) has continued...'. It does not give an amount for this collaboration. It gives Dr Hyde's remuneration. Dr Hyde is a trustee. This is a trustee payment. See trustee_payments.
“Our collaboration with Jeremy and Lorna Roe, directors of Christian Bookshop, Ossett (CBO) has continued to flourish. CBO have handled all our sales and book dispatch since October 2023.” — page 6
