What the accounts disclose
“Although consistent with the prior periods, given that Clare Cann, the administrator, is a direct relation of one of the Trustees, I would recommend that the other Trustees regularly review 1) that the price charged is "arms length" and at a defendable market rate and 2) that the hours charged are reasonable for the work that she undertakes.” — page 7
