Minutes:
Stephen Adams, Finance & Resources Manager, introduced the report, which provided details of the annual report and accounts of the King George’s Field Mile End and King George’s Field Tredegar Square charities for the 2016/2017 financial year.
The Board noted the increased expenditure incurred by the King George’s Field Mile End charity in 2016/17 compared to the previous year and asked that management accounts are provided to each meeting to enable it to better identify areas of surplus/deficit in advance of annual accounts. Mr Adams indicated he would also provide the Board with the most recent monthly financial monitoring report prior to the next scheduled Board meeting.
The Board questioned why, as reported on page 22 of the agenda pack, the King George’s Field Mile End charity’s accounts are subject to the audit sign off of the Council’s main accounts for 2016/17 and asked officers to explore whether the charity’s accounts could be audited separately.
