20 The BOT has examined the charities requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed, should equate to 34 months projected expenditure. At that level the charity should, in the event of decline in funding. be able to conlinue all activities until funding is replad or activblies altered. Money from reserves has been designated for development work which has noi been possible in previous years. A level of core activities is funded from unrestricted reserves. Current reseNes are £1.156.411 (2022-23 £1,274,339) which equates to approximately 4.6 months project expenditure. This indudes £774.818 (2022-23 £745,415) - which has been designated for specific items of expenditure. | riveslment Polic Under the tenns of the memorandum and articles of association. the charity may invest monies of Juno Women's Aid not immediately required for its own purposes. Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there a few funds for long tsrm investment. Having considered the option available. the BOT decided to invest the amount that it has available in unit trusts managed by St James's Place Wealth Management and Handelsbanken. The performance of the unit trusts accounl has shown a gain of £41,355 during this financial year. The investments are reviewed constantly by the trustees, Finance and Fundraising Sub Committee, and overseen by Ihe Board of Trustees.

25 JUNO WOMEN'S AID IA Company Limlted by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JUNO WOMEN'S AID Because of the inherent limrtations of an audit, there is a risk that we will nol detect all irregularities, induding those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non<ompliance with regulation. This risk increases Ihe more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likdy lo become aware of instances of non<ompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities ¢xcurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
