Audited Accounts:
Winchester Students' Union is a charitable membership organisation, and one of our mandates is to be transparent about how we spend money and our financial health. Indeed it is a legal requirement for us to have our accounts audited by an independent professional 3rd party, to make sure our accounting, policies and practices are all in good shape and the organisation is sustainable.
