Sèction E
Financial review
Aims
Retain funds to cover redundancy and contracts, any other termed
commilments we may have in the future.
Manage out fvnds responsibly
Provide a budget to enable us to predict fluctuations in our revenues and
expenditures quickly to enable quick resolutions
In the event that funds are used to recover from unexpected incidences,
we will aim to rebuild our reserves primarily to meet redundancy
obligations, and continue to rebuild our funds to cover a business
disaster.
Procedures
As per recommendations, we operate 3 bank accounts
We use a business current account for our business transactions
We have a reserveslinvestment savings account and a fundraising
aGGount
Each year after our AGM we review our reserves. We base the
calculation on the cost of redundancy for the full pre-school team,
essential costs such as contracts. The fund must cover at least these
costs at a minimum.
We aim to cover the Cost of notice to staff.
Our redundancy fund grows each year and will continue to do so as we
employ the changes of the living wage. Also if we take on a new member
of staff, we cover the notice period in the redundancy calculation.
There may be other costs that will be taken into consideration, this will be
reviewed by the committee and if agreed, will be reflect8d in our policy.
We will rnake suitable risk assessments before using reserves.
The money in reserves are for the described reasons. Should we
encounter a situation that does not reach this criteria, the committee will
meet to discuss altemative options. If the only solution is to use our
reserves, then this will be done by a committee vote.
Our reserves will be grown using good business practice techniques. We
will aim to ensure our income is greater than expenditure.
We will actively seek opportunities to fund the pre-school activities by
fundraising. parentlcarer inclusion and donations.
If using our reser￿eS results in a balance of £20,000 or less, we will look
at alternative options to funding the activity.
Our reserves policy will be reviewed periodically.
