Risk Analysis Risk management is the process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimise the adverse effect of accidental losses upon the charity. The risk management process is vital to the personal health and safety of employees and the safety of the public. In financial terms, it is vital to our ability to pursue our goals, commence and operate programs and events, and work out our charitable aim in an efficient and professional manner. The trustees of the charity have put in place a risk management strategy to pursue our risk management goals and objectives. These goals and ¢)bjectives include: 1. Avoiding exposure to accidental loss by not undertaking events, contracts or activities where the potential loss is greater than the potential benefit to be derived from these undertakings. 2. Preventing loss by identifying potential loss exposures and implementing policies and procedures to reduce risk of these losses occuring. 3. Controlling losses that occur by: a. Developing contingency plans for possible loss S￿na￿oS b. Proper documentation and investigation of losses 4. Raising the awareness of all Trustee board members. employees. and volunteers con￿MIng risk management within the charity. These goals and objectives will be accomplished by: a. Establishing a Risk Management Committee led by the chaimian. whose responsibilities will be to implement, monitor, evaluate and revise plans to achieve our goals and objectives. b. Finacial risk management to be monitored on a continual basis by the executive staff and any risks forthcoming to be reported to the chaimian of the trustees al the regular meetings. c. Risk management is a standing item for discussion at each monthly team meeting. 5. Cooperation is needed from all trustees, employees and volunteers. Only by working as a team with common goals and objectives can we ensure the success of this risk management strategy and its part in working out our aims and vision.

Trustees responsibilities The trustees are responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally ac￿pted accounting practice.
