Reserves pollcy
The Charity's funds consisl of unrestricted funds and a revalualion reserve. Buckinghamshire Mind maintains a
formal rèsèrves poli¢y, reviewed by Iiuslee5 al least annually and amended as appropriate. The poll¢y Currently
considers the following aspects..
The definition of reserves as being the Ireo roserves., namely lolal reserves less any ￿StrICted or asset
reserves.
The18V819l re$eTves decKled by our trustees 45 no less than three months of tho lolal annual budgeted
operating costs.
How the trustees intend lo maintain reserves at the agreed level.
The arrangements required by trusteès to en8ur8 the policy is regularly monitored and reviewed.
The required level of unrestricted reserves based on these criteria on reloreca5t exp8nditur8 values was
£482,374 in 2021122. The unrestiicted reserves al balance sheet date 8re £494,808 so we are above the
required level. This was due to the increase in the value ol our investments during the year and the receipt ol
unexpected funding support from the Buckinghamshiro Council Infeolion Control Funcl during the first quarter ol
the year. Whilst the reserves aro above the agreed level. we are conscious that, wilh the proposed expansion
and Incr8a88d cost b8se for 2022123, the reserves target will now bB altainable on a slepped basis after the
Surplus this year.
For 2022123 the required level will be £558,569. In accordance with our policy. the level ol reserves will be
reviewed by the trustees in conlunclion with tre approval ol the annual accounts. We expect the value ol our
investrnent to continu8 to recover in the next year. Appropriate business development andlor lundr8ising
strale9ies will be pul in place to increase reserves lo the agreed level al the end ol next ye8r.

Audltorfs responsibilities for the audlt of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under seclion 144 of the Chaiilies Act 2011 and report in accord8n¢o ￿th
the Acl and relevant regulations made or hawng effect Ihereunder.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance abDuI whelher the finandal slalements as a whole ale free
from matefial misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an Auditoffs r8POrt Ihal in¢ludes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a gU8r8nlee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always dele¢1 a material mi5StateTnenl wh8n il exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material 11. indlvidually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected io influence the econornic decisions ol users18ken on the basis of these financial stalemènl8.
Ir￿gularItI•s, including fraud, are instances of non-compli8nce wilh18ws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, oullined above. to detect malerial misstatements in respeol of irregularities,
including Iraud, The extent to whlch our pwoGedures are capable ol detecting irregularÈti88. incltjding fraud is
detailed below..
the nature of th8 industry and sector, control enmrontnent and business Performance including the
rornuneration incentives and pressures ol key management.,
th8 primary responsibilily lor the prevention and deieclion of fraud resls wlh both those charged with
governance ol the enlily and management. We consider the ￿sUltS of our enquiri85 01 management
about their own 1denlifieatl0￿ 8nd assessment of the risks ol irregularities.,
any mattels we identifi&d having obtained and reviewed the Cornpany's documentation ol their policies
and procedures relating to..
identifying, evaluating and ¢otnplying with laws and regulations and whalher they werg
aware ol any in5tanc85 01 non-compliance.,
detecting and responding lo the risks ol fraud and whether they have knowledge of any
actual, suspected or alleged fraud.,
the internal controls established lo mitigate risks ol fraud or non<ompliance with laws and
regulations.,
Ihe mallers discussed among th8 audit engagernenl team regarding how and where Iraud might occur in
the financial slalemenls and any potential indicators ol Irauij.
As a r8sull of these procedures, we con5id818d th8 opporlunilies and incenlives that may exist wilhin the
organisalion lor fraud and identified the greatfyst potential for fraud In common with all aLJdits under ISAS IUKI,
we are also required lo pèrforTn specific procedures lo respond to Ihe risk of Tnanagement override, including
lesling journa15 ev8lu8ting whether the￿ was evidence of bias by Ihe directors that represented a risk ol
material misslatemenl due lo fraud.
We also obtained an understanding c>f the legal 8nd regulalory Irameworks ihal the Company operates in,
focusing on provisions ol those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material
amounls and disc105ur8s in th8 financial statements. We focused on laws and regulations thal could give rise to
a material misstal8ment in the financial slatemenls, including, bul not limited lo. the Companie5 Act 2006 and
ralevanl lax logislalion,
Because of the Inherent Ilmitalion3 of an audit, there is a risk that we wll not detect 811 irregul8rilies, including
Ihose leading lo a material M￿sSI81eMenl in the financial stalemenis or non-compli8nc8 with regulation. This risk
InC￿aSe5 the fflore Ihat compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in Ihe fin8nci81 slalemenls, as we will be less lik8ly lo bocolne aware ol instances tsf non-compliance.
Th& risk is also grealer regarding irregularities QCCUffing due lo fraud rather than error, 88 Ir8ud involves
?nlonlional concealment, forgery, collu510n. omission or misrepresentation.
