Finance Year End - final reminder

A big thank you to all our group volunteers who are busy completing the Finance Year End Checklist via our Year End online system. Just a reminder that all groups need to complete this, as well as analyse all 2022 transactions, by 31 January.

Some groups have also been asked to complete an Agreed Upon Procedures Report (AUP) and/or provide some supporting documentation for transactions as part of the audit process. These also need to be returned by 31 January.

Finance Year End - a reminder

The deadline for group financial year end submissions is 31 January 2023. We have to meet this deadline, as we’re required to submit accurate financial accounts for audit. We could be fined if we fail to do so.
