About the Reports

Committee Reports

Internal Review & Audit Reports

(3) CTE Fiscal Year (Inc & Exp)

  • Month to month Income and Spending
  • Net Income per month at the Bottom.
  • Columns Totals at right match YTD Report

(4) Transactions (Each Month)

  • Designed to show an easy monthly view… also it shows the petty cash figures which as you can see are pretty easy to follow.

NOTE: This report is not worth the effort.  (For October, I ran 8 reports, 1/month, and merged them to a pdf. )

Can we use (5) Transaction Full Year (to date) report?  The YTD totals will match,, and I only run 1 cash report, and less effort for me.

(5) Transactions (Full Year)

  • Designed to show full transparency
    • Want all transactions in in/out…?”
      • Here you go (current fiscal year)
      • Available for any timescale

How to use this “accordion” (=) and (-):

  • The first item is open at the start
  • Hit (+) to see any other item
  • Hit (-) to close an item
  • You can only look at one item at a time.

Utilities – Gas:  moved from Pozitive Energy to British Gas as a better provider, better fixed rate…

Utilities – Electric: Pozitive Energy does our electric till July 2025, But, we got an energy broker (LoveEnergySavings) to find us a great 3 year deal starting July 2025.

  • Internet – PlusNet renewed (although I said “no” but so be it)
      • tech is boring, service satisfactory; renew price is ok, but I still would’ve switched.
      • PlusNet end of contract fine print ups your price 200%…legal, but un-cool as well! (choose vendors that don’t play these games)

Follow Up from last month:

  • Reports in a placed you guys can access.. under simple security.
    • Petty cash is now merged in so you have a 100% clear view.
    • I’m behind on Petty cash activity. (awaiting Aug, Sep, but easy to do when I get it.)

Getting a better rate on our £20k deposits.

  • We can’t use Goldman Sachs Marcus..

    • Getting a better deal is still viable, but committee voted against looking at a non-NatWest (so we give up £150-£200 income per year…)
      • The issue is we had 12k in the bank for years, in the current “no interest” account.
      • In last 5 years, we lost out on around £1,000 which was so avoidable.

Below are Harlan’s suggested reports to be published every month.

  • This is kind of overkill, but as everything is LIVE, not a problem.
    • Our committee can get away with just reading item (1) and item (2)
    • Report (3), *(4), (5) are important but more for internal use, bank reconciliations, and audits.
      • *Note: Might I suggest No more (4) to web
        • Harlan runs 1-month views as he needs to
        • Things like Petty Cash get added (sometimes) months later.
        • Descriptions in the past year are open to tweaking.
        • Report (5) is easy YTD, and a single report, faster for me.

(4) Transactions (Each Month)
  • Designed to show an easy monthly view… also it shows the petty cash figures that I need from Brian each month to post by hand to the Accounts
Note:  Use the (5) report, one report gives you the whole YTD…. there are reasons, why doing lots of single month reports is a waste of time here… (4) Transactions (Each Month)
(5) Transactions (Full Year)
  • Designed to show transparency for anyone of you or an auditor that says, “Hey, tell me all the money that comes in and out of here…?”
  • This is the current fiscal year, but can be run for any period…
