Statement explaining the We aim to hold in reserve sufficientmoney in ourgeneral
policy for holding reserves funds to cover2 to 3 months expenditure. The reason for
stating why they are held this is twofold:
(i) Expenditure is held in reserve as working capital to cover
normal running costs and to meetemergency calls on cash;
and
(ii) Certain costs, including ourassessment, are paid in
advance—money is therefore spent in advance ofbeing
