Reserve Poli
The TTUStees are working towards a policy whereby the unrestricted funds. not comnlltted or invested in Lqngible
asscts (Ihe free rescrvcsj hcld by the charlty should be between l and 3 months of the rcsourccs expended. which
equatcs to £70,000 to £200,000 in general fimds. At the proposed reserves level the TTUStees recognise th¢ nKd to
continue to build reserves from trading activities.
Investment Poll¢
The Trustees hav¢ CODsidwed the most appropriate policy for investing funds. Short tern) reserves will be held in the
Trustees, interest bearing bank account. Futu￿ long tern) ffserves will be held in accounts designed for the charity
sector, with the requiremenl lo generate income and/or capilal growth.
Rl$k Revlew
The Trustees hav¢ ¢ondu¢ted their own review of tbe major risks to which the ¢hariiy is exposed and systems have
been established to mitigat¢ those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a
stralegic plan which will allow for the diversification of fuDding and activities. Internal risks are minimised by the use
of professional Consultants. and the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects
and io ensure consist¢nt quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable wmpany. The procedures are
periodically reviewed to ensure they still m¢¢t the needs of the charily.
Res
on81bllltles of the Trustees
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare fllwiciaj statements for each fllLqn¢ial year wbich give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the charilable company as at th¢ balaneK sheet date and of its incoming resources and
application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financiaj year. In prepaTill8 those financial
slatements, the Trustees should follow best practice and:
> Select suitabje accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
> Make judgements aDd estimates thai are reasonable and prudent; and
> Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounling records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time the financiaj position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that thc fmancial statcments
comply with thc Companies Act 2006. The Trust￿$ arc also responsible for safeguarding thc assets of th¢ Charitable
company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and othcr irregularities.

organisational growth, but remain in step with the objectives of alleviating poverty and be
comparable to similar organisations around Bradford.
