Stephen,
I have read the statement and with regards to the Former Subpostmasters Account Statement I am not sure if I
can comment on this as I have no part in any documentation sent to the office or generated about the office once
the audit is completed (apart from the audit report). I would presume it originates from the Former
Subpostmasters Department in Chesterfield. This is the first time I have seen one.
As from the 25th of this month I am changing jobs again. My new title will be Security Analyst, I don't know
whether that will need adjusting or not, I don't mind either way.
Also a snapshot contains all transactions, sales, stock and method of payments at an office. Every time a
transaction takes place the snapshot would alter. It is only a balancing aid for postmasters/auditors and not
classed as an accounting document. The snapshot will presume that every entry is correct and give you a derived
figure of cash that should be in the office. Thus presuming that the receipts, payments, suspense account,
cheques and stock are entered correctly. On arriving at the office an auditor would ask the postmaster to run a
snapshot off, sometimes two, one for file without any marks on and a working copy for ticking off things when
checked. There would be no reason or benefit to even look at previous snapshots.
The security inspection was started but from what I can remember not completed. The reason for this being that
normal audits would require many compliance tests completing, including the security compliance. However when
a postmaster is suspended for what ever reason then compliance tests are not completed. This would have been
started as a matter of routine until we were notified that Mr Castleton was to be suspended.
Hope this helps
