Whitby Toy Library
Estimated Time: 4 - 6 Hours Over 1 - 3 Weeks
The Whitby Toy Library Incorporated in Porirua is looking for a Chartered Accountant to review our annual Performance Report. We are a small registered charity with total operating payments of $12,861 for the year ended 31 March 2017. The toy library is run by a paid Librarian, an Executive Committee and members who vounteer their time. While there is no statutory requirement for our Performance Report to be audited or reviewed, our constitution states that it will be reviewed by a Chartered Accountant. The Committee has elected to have our Performance Report reviewed in order to help secure future grant funding and fulfil accountability obligations from some grant providers. The first financial statements to be reviewed would be for the year ended 31 March 2017 and the review would need to be completed in time for submission to the Charities Services on 29th September. Having your assistance will mean that our Committee, members and grant funders can have confidence in our reporting.
