policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|BGNA has developed a reserves policy in
order to protect its finances and they are
cautiously managed, and its activities are
sustainable.
Reserves usually exclude tangible fixed
assets such as land, building and other
assets held for the charity’s use. It also
excludes amounts designated for essential
future spending.
They also exclude funds, which have
particular restrictions on how they can be
used.
BGNA puts some funds aside as a reserve
fund to protect itself against drops in
income or to take advantage of new
opportunities. Trustees should consider for
what purpose restricted funds are held and
how they are being used in order to identify
those resources that are freely available to
spend.
This policy will explain how reserves are
used to manage uncertainty and if reserves
are held to fund future purchases or
activities, it will explain how and when the
reserves will be spent.
While applying for funding some donors
require an applicant should contribute up to
30% towards cost of the purposed project.
Hence, BGNA needs to put some funds
aside.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|Total BGNA Bank balance is £4,079.45
including the restricted fund as of 31 March
2021.
Reserves amount was £1,223.84.
Total Restricted funds held at the BGNA
bank account is £2,111.73 as at
31/03/2021. This will not be spent on any
other purposes than the restricted terms
and conditions.
Trustees will meet before accessing to the
reserves or unrestricted funds to ensure
that they are spent on the right agreed
cause.| |Reasons for holding zero
