What the accounts disclose
“The Association holds no restricted reserves and its general reserve is much depleted. The re-building of a reserve to cushion the Association against unforeseen contingencies is a priority over the next few years, in line with Charity Commission recommendations.” — page 5
“In connection with my examination, the following matter has come to my attention: The cash collected of £3843.00 cannot be accounted for. (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met” — page 6
“Following concerns about earlier financial management the Trustees reported a Serious Incident to the Charity Commission and subsequently reviewed their financial policies and procedures, bringing in more effective controls and developing better book keeping and financial reporting.” — page 5
