policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|We aim to hold in reserve sufficient money in our general
funds to cover 2 to 3 months expenditure. The reason for
this is twofold:
(i) Expenditure is held in reserve as working capital to cover
normal running costs and to meet emergency calls on cash;
and
(ii) Certain costs, including our assessment, are paid in
advance – money is therefore spent in advance of being
raised. To cover this, the church needs further funds in
reserve.| |Amount of reserves held|At 31stAugust 2021 our restricted funds stood at £38,131
With £43,379 as general funds. At 31stAugust our general
funds represented 5.3 months’ of expenditure.
