WB gave a brief resume of the financial position and provided audited accounts for 2023/4 as well as a budget forecast for 24/25. Some discussion was held around the way that income and expenditure was recorded. |
Proposed by RH that the auditors are asked questions about how the relevant amounts are recorded. Seconded by RP. It was proposed by AP that approval of the accounts should be deferred until the next Trust meeting, when we have answers to our questions. Seconded by WB. All in favour on both counts. |
