Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 1)
The Group Executive Committee has identified the major risks
to which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate
against them. The main areas ofconcern that have been
identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The Group
would request the use of buildings, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisations such as the church,
community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar reciprocal
arrangements exist with these organisations. The Group has
sufficient buildings and contents insurance in place to mitigat
against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The
group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of
activities should there be a major reduction in income. The
Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase
the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either
temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities ofthe group.	If
there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an
unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a
whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities
for all young people aged 6 to 18.Ifthere was a reduction	in
membership in a particular section or the group as whole then
there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or closure
of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete closure
ofthe Group.
Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 2)
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
