Cover letter for audit comments fro accounts of 1977. As this is the first year to which the Charities Accounting Regulations apply they have focused on disclosure compliance. No major problems with the accounting system. The complexity of the Trust's activities means that the VAT is equally complex. Need to exercise caution because failure to declare VAT can have significant penalties. Retain supplier's statements at least until after the audit is complete. Invoices should be entered as soon as they are raised to show an accurate sales ledger balance.

Cover letter for draft accounts. Some handling information. Enclosures [not present] also include a draft letter of representation, Example set of charity accounts, Trustee's report, statement of recommended practice. Also enclosed a set of notes on the accounts. Trust Deed allows for Fr Williams to be both a Trustee and paid employee, although salary must be declare din the accounts.

Covering letter for the accounts. 1990 figures included for comparative purposes. A large legacy made the figures look good; without them the net income is down by £2,000.

Two items from Executive meeting to discuss. First lack of progress with Walsingham Trust. Second the Accountants report on the book-keeping system.

Page 1: letter describing some aspects of the book-keeping system. They are however, "untidy" and "inconsistent" with "small arithmetical errors". Generally adhered to but some reluctance detected. Suggest more adherence checks as "spot checks". Three improvements recommended.
Page 2: summary of contents from a review of the new book-keeping system (lists 2 positives; 7 negatives)

Accounts submitted. Adjustments made to reflect legacy and stock value adjustment. Excess to income over expenditure. Considerable increase in establishment expenses - largely new equipment and repairs

Statistics and new church account submitted [not present]. Discussing the land for which the owner will not take less than 15/- [per yard]. Duke of Norfolk has promised £50 if the school is built.

A problem has arisen regarding the conveyancing. "A deception" by the venors is revealed as the cellars (obtained by increasing the offer by £25) are really an entrance way to No 7 All Saints Street. Fr Wrigglesworth provides some background about Welwick House being a workhouse and connected with No 7. "The difficulty is more apparent than real". Mr Wilkin is very annoyed and will fight for the cellars but thinks the vendors knew all along; which means a right of way to No 7 will be necessary. includes a plan showing the area under consideration. Quite hot here - like Rome in July - hope rain comes soon. In the school with all doors and windows open the children can hardly breathe.

Accounts ("Bill of Costs") detailed from April 11 1893 (first instructions) to June 26 1893 (completion of purchase) for Welwick House. Stamp overstamped with "Seppings & Wilkin" and countersigned by WG Brown.

Understand that Fr Wrigglesworth has sent his accounts and letters to the Bishop. Hopes to hear from the bishop.

Nicholl's letter: may admit by silence that they were impossible or impracticable designs. Site difficult and the other side was impractical regarding the design [to cost £1450] as Fr Wrigglesworth had become involved with two architects and had choose. The statement in the Tablet about £2000 being spent on a portion of the design is concerning. Glad to hear that his design may be used elsewhere in the diocese, however it is only fair to pay a very small sum of £20 for what has been done.
Bishop Riddell reply dated 8 February 1897 [copy]: You have no claim whatever because the design would have been rejected by me and it was way beyond the means of the Lynn mission. Design No 2 - you refused to provide an estimate when asked.

Thanks the bishop for calling with the plans but disappointed not to be there to have 5 minute discussion on this matter. It was only on seeing the Tablet article that he became aware that another architect was engaged - hence he then submitted his accounts.
