Reviewing Mr FitzPatrick’s Engagement and Office Cost Provisions from last year, in order to meet all office costs for the year, £5,000 was transferred from Engagement to Office Cost Provision with 99% of the Office Cost Provision spent at the end of March 2024. The same level of utilization of the provisions is forecast for the current financial year ending March 2025 therefore it does not seem feasible for Mr FitzPatrick to meet these additional costs from his OCP / EP and as such an exceptional expense application is required.
