| Risks and Internal Controls |
The District Executive Committee has identified the major risks which they believe the District is exposed. These have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate against them. |
to | |
| Risks include | |||
| ~ property and capital assets —the District has sufficient |
|||
| property and capital assets insurance to mitigate against |
|||
| damage and loss. |
|||
| ~ capital replacement —included in budget setting discussions, |
|||
| reliance on fundraising and availability ofgrant funding |
|||
| ~ reduced income —the District has sufficient reserves to |
cover | ||
| overheads for nine months |
| Reporting | The District has a gross income ofless than | E'250,000 and therefore |
|---|---|---|
| operates Receipts and Payments accounts. |
Year end accounts are | |
| shared with members at the Annual General |
Meeting | |
| Reserve Policy | The District policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resource to |
|
| continue the charitable activities ofthe District should income and |
||
| fundraising activities fall short. The District Executive Committee |
||
| considers that the District should hold a sum |
equivalent to 9months |
|
| running costs circa E12000 |
||
| Investment Policy |
The Distdicts income and expenditure is small and as a consequence does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer term |
|
| investments such as stocks and shares. The |

of its funds. All funds | |
| are held in cash using mainstream accounts, |
