Income and Expenditure - Account Ledger

Income and expenditure have been recorded in a hand-written ledger for many years. One of the drawbacks of this type of accounting is that there is only a small opportunity (dependant of the size of the ledger) of giving a detailed breakdown of costs. The 2017-2018 accounts are being produced digitally allowing for a more helpful means of explaining costs - see 2016/17 example below.
