|Risk and Internal
Control|| |---|---| |The District Executive Committee
has identified
the major|| |risks to which they believe the District 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|| |District would request the use of buildings,
property
and|| |equipment
from groups
within the District. Similar reciprocal|| |arrangements
exist with these organisations.
The District|| |has sufficient
buildings
and contents insurance
in place to|| |mitigate against permanent
loss.|| |Injury to leaders, helpers,
supporters
and members.
The|| |District 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 District is primarily|| |reliant upon income from fundraising.
The District does hold|| |a reserve to ensure the continuity
ofactivities should there|| |be a major reduction
in income. The Committee
could raise|| |subscriptions
to increase the income to the District on an|| |ongoing basis, either temporarily
or permanently.|| |Reduction
or loss ofvolunteers.
The District is totally reliant|| |upon volunteers
to run and administer
the activities ofthe|| |District. Activities,
in particular
Fundraising
activities,
would|| |have to be reduced or curtailed
until more volunteers
could|| |be recruited.|| |The District has in place systems of internal
controls that|| |are designed
to provide reasonable
assurance
against|| |material
mismanagement
or loss, these include 2|| |signatories
for all payments,
including
online banking,
and|| |comprehensive
insurance
policies to ensure that insurable|| |risks are covered.|| |||||||The Purpose ofScouting|||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |Summary|ofthe|objects ofthe||charity set||Scouting exists to actively engage and support|||young||| |out in its|governing||document|||people

holds

this|can
