The Committee received the Monmouthshire Farm School Endowment Trust Fund Annual Report for the year ended 31st March 2022.

 

In doing so it was noted that a fraudulent application to the Trust had been made in recent years in the sum of £2590.  The matter had been identified and details were forwarded to Gwent Police to undertake a criminal investigation.  The sum will be repaid to the Trust via a payment plan.

 

Monmouthshire County Council auditors are aware of this matter and consequently, robust procedures have been established with regard to the application process, going forward.
