## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
RMPFAs' policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the RMPFA CIO should income and fundraising activities fall short.
Any surplus funds which are not likely to be needed to pay for activities are placed on deposit to earn interest.
Furthermore there is an ever increasing need for us to ensure that those to whom we direct our resources are the most suitable recipient and that we continue our prudent management of outgoings.
We need to increase these unrestricted funds in order to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur, for example equipment repairs/replacement.
