Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 The charity’s finances are stable having
financial position at the end attained the targeted minimum reserve of
of the period £10k and produced surpluses for the past
five periods
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 The Choir has a total reserve of £30,000
policy for holding reserves which is comprised of two elements: a
stating why they are held ready use element and a “crisis” element
The “ready use” element will be used to
defray such items as those listed below. It
is predicated on the replacement/hire cost
of Choir assets (£2,000) and historical
experience of cash flow ‘pinch points’.
(£2,000)
a) cancellation of an event where the Choir
has already committed funds (for example,
in respect of transport, engaging guest
artists, booking accommodation etc.)
(b) The failure by a promoter to pay the
agreed fees for a concert or other event
(either through default or insolvency) the
consequence of which expose the Choir to
financial liability or risk.
(c) The loss of critical equipment or
material; such as staging, musical
instruments, trailer, amplification
equipment, or music scores etc. Whereas
there is an expectation that these items will
be covered by relevant insurance policies,
the period taken to settle resulting claims
may be result in a temporary cessation of
the Choir’s business unless reserve funds
are available to meet immediate demands.
(d) Significant, unplanned cost increases,
for example, resulting from an unplanned
and externally-imposed change of
rehearsal venue to a more expensive
venue
The “Crisis” element (£10k) is predicated
on the basis that the Choir will hold two
major fund-raising concerts per annum at
six monthly intervals. A reserve sufficient to
sustain the Choir between these events is
deemed necessary. The calculation is
derived by multiplying our monthly running
costs by seven months.
