The charity maintains ￿Se￿Ie5 equivalent to 3-6 ffKJnths of operatlonal exper¥Jlture to ensure financial Stabil￿ and the contlnulty

Financlal and risk managernent objectives and policles
We operate a rtsk management strategy covering all our OFerations, developed at Board level and cascaded through Indlvidual
projetts. This Involves carrying out a detalled rlsk analysls of the Organi￿￿On annually and compillng a Risk Register to Identtfy
key rfsks, assess thelr Impact and likellhood, and establlsh measures to mitigate them.The Trustees review the Risk Register at
each Board Meeting to address changing circum51ances, ensure that planned mitlgation measures hove been implemented, and
evaluate If the level of risk has changed.
The same approach Is taken to rlsks affetting Indivldual projects. Every project has its own Risk Regisier, generated through
detaled rlsk analysi5 at the plannlng stage, and subject to regular review by the CEO andlor the Board, which covers the
partlcular rlsks to the project, thelr Impatt arKI likelllvxyj, and specifK mitigattng artions where available,
Principal rlsk5 and uncertaln¥es
The Board of Trustees recognize the key rlsks that Croydon BME Forum faces whSch includes the flnancial risk5 of not gettirrfj
furKlers to contlnue projects that are successfully kHloted and the risk of maintaining a pool of staff that can dellver our propcts.
The Trustees maintsin a risk reglster.
Key Risks Identified
Funding un￿rtainty. The relian￿ on NHS and other extemal fuTrJing $￿amS poses a significant risk. With the evolving
healtkn￿ landscape and economic pressu￿$, the FQtential reduction or ce55atson of NHS funding creates uncertainty for the
continuatlon of key projects, Includlng our mentsl hea￿h and wellbeing Initiatives. To mitigate this risk, we actively engage with
funders, diverslfy Income Streams, and seek additlonal grant opportunities.
Siafflng Retenuon.. Maintalning a skilled and motivated workforce, Including volunteers, is essential for deliverlng our proiects
effectively. We address this through robust recruitmenL training, and retention strategie5.
Operatk)nal Rlsks.. The complexitie5 of delIveri￿ multiple communlty projects require strong governance arKI projett
rnanagern￿t. We mitigate these risks throu9h regular monitoring and reportitvj, en5urfng that projects are delivered on time and
within budget.

at the falr value of the consideration re￿6Vable. The rnain source of contract Income for the charty is contracts with
NHS Clinical Care Commissloners and the London Borough of Croydon.
Gronts, where entltlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific perf0rrnan￿ by the charity, are recognised when
the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Income from grants, where related to performance and specific
deliverables, are accounted for as the charty eams the right to the con51deratlon by its performan￿. Grant Income
relating to a later perlod15 therefore deferred to that perlod and treated as deferred income in the balance sheet.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognlsed as expendbture as soon as there is a legal or constructlve obligation committing the charity to

obligation can be measured reliably. Expendlture is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified uThJer
headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. whe￿ costs cannot be directty attributed to particular headings
they have been allc£ated to attivities on a basls consistert with the use of resources.
Grants offe￿d subjett to condition5 which have not been rnet at the year end date are noted as a commitmert but not
accrued as expenditure.
Charitable artivltles
Charitable expenditu￿ comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the dellvery of its actlvltles and servlces for its
beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated direttly to such activities and those costs of an indirett nature
necessary to support them.
