The financial records are for the most part, fairly high level. They largely consist of the annual statements of account that were presented at the Annual General Meetings, although there also are some cash books. They serve to demonstrate how efficiently the organization was run in terms of its cost effectiveness. Also in this sub-group are the files relating to the applications made by the organization for annual funding, from for example the North West Arts Board [NWAB] and the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities [AGMA].
