## **Section E Financial review**
Aims **Brief statement of the** Retain funds to cover redundancy and contracts, any other termed **charity’s policy on reserves** commitments we may have in the future. Manage out funds 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 reserves/investment savings account and a fundraising account 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 reflected in our policy. We will make 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 alternative 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, parent/carer inclusion and donations. If using our reserves 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.
