Risk Assessment
The trustees artlvely review the major risks facing the charity on a regular basis. They believe that
maintaining reserves at current levels, alongside annual reviews of controls over key financial
systems, provides a robust safeguard agalnst potential adverse circumstances.
In addition, the trustees have examined the operattonal and strateglc risks associated with SPLASH'S
activities and confirm that appropriate systems and procedure5 are in place to mitigate significant
risks and ensure continuity of service.
Would you like help drafting the Reserves Policy or Futu￿ Plans section nextP I can also help tsilor
this for regulatory compliance or funder expectations.
Trustees. Responsiblllties In Relatlon to the Flnancial Statements
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a
true and fair view of the charity's financial position at year-end. as well as its income and
expenditure during the year.
In preparing these statements, the trustees are requI￿d to:
l. Select 5uitsble accounting policies and apply them consistently
2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
3. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to
assume the charity will continue operating
The trustees are responslble for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose, with
reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at any time. This enables them to ensure
compliance with the Companies Ae(2006.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and for taking reasonable steps to
prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Reserves Pollcy
SPLASH maintains a reserves policy that balances our commitment to developing and sustaining
.services with the need to ensure financial stability. The trustees consider a minimum level of free
reserves equivalent to at least four months of total expenditure to be.sufficient. This level is designed
to cover core management, administration, and 5UPPQrt Costs, and to provide a buffer for unforeseen
or emergency needs that may arise.
