5 Financial Review
5.1 Reserves Policy
The UKPA has undertaken a review of its potentialliabilities in the face of foreseeable risks and determined that a reasonable sum to hold in reserve is that required to cover a year’s operational expenditure plus some contingency for unforeseen costs: £5,000.
At the end of March 2025, the UKPA held reserves of £6,639.68.
All funds raised from PyCon UK conferences prior to 2023 are currently held by PyCon UK Society Ltd (PUKSL).
Funds from the 2023 PyCon UK conference are held by the wholly owned subsidiary trading company,UKPA Trading Ltd (UKPATL). The intention is that funds held by PUKSL will be transferred to UKPATL and PUKSL will be closed.
