FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Men and Boys Coalition is keen to secure its long-term viability and become financially sustainable so that it can benefit greater numbers of men and boys. In order to be able to provide reliable services over the longer term, remain innovative and absorb setbacks, maximize opportunities and effectively reserve against future uncertainties, The Men and Boys Coalition will build up an appropriate level of funds as reserves for:

  1. Unforeseen Emergencies û the risk of this or other unexpected need for funds, e.g., replacement of IT or other equipment or an unexpected cost such as legal or professional costs

  2. Operational Core Costs - to pay the core for up to 3 months and for unforeseen day to-day operational costs

  3. Low Income - funds might be needed to maintain working capital or to give the board time to take action if income falls below expectations, e.g., if a grant is not being renewed or to repay any grant monies to a funder

  4. Budget Deficits - the need to fund short-term deficits in a cash budget, e.g., money that may need to be spent before a major grant is received

  5. Closure of Business costs incurred in the event that the charity is wound down including meeting redundancy costs, loans, hire agreements and associated legal and accountancy expenses and to repay in full any monies owing to other parties.

The closing funds of £32,200, (2021; £14,821) are all restricted and represent approximately 22 months (2021; 11 months) of operations. It should be noted that grants are often made to cover more than a 12 month period. The Financial Reserves Policy aims to hold free reserves to adequately cover at least 12 months operating costs taking into account:

  1. risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted

  2. planned activity level

  3. commitments of the organisation

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)(Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Donations and grants and other income

All monetary donations and gifts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable, provided that there are no donor-imposed restrictions as to the timing of the related expenditure, in which case recognition is deferred until the pre-condition has been met.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated based upon pro rata to staff full time equivalents. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and the use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
