Society Network Foundation’s accounts for 2012-13 were published in Jan 2014 and reviewed by Social Investment Business as part of standard grant monitoring. These accounts showed that funds had been transferred from the Get In grant to cover a deficit in unrestricted funds. Further information and explanation was requested at this time and discussed with Society Network Foundation. As a result, a request for £33,994 to be returned was issued to Society Network Foundation on the 9th of May 2014.
