What the accounts disclose

Payments to trustees: Clare Cann, an administrator and direct relation of Trustee David Cann, receives payment for work undertaken. The examiner recommended reviewing if prices are at arm's length.
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

Governance: The examiner noted control weaknesses: lack of invoices for one-off hires and difficulty following Excel backups requiring manual recreation of accounts.
Unfortunately the excel monthly backup prepared were very hard to follow, due to a number of adjustments made within the files, and reconciling them to the main accounts was difficult, and ended up in the my manual recreation of the accounts. — page 7
