## **Risk Management** 

Policies in effect: 

- I. Complaint’s handling 

- II. Safeguarding vulnerable beneficiaries 

- III. Volunteer Management 

Risks are considered in meetings by the Board of Trustees, no current scheme of delegation as no staff members in situ 

The Board of Trustees considers the major strategic, business, and operational risks faced by the organisation on an annual basis 

Budgetary and financial risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects, through a dual authorisation protocol 

## **Future Developments** 

We plan on running an end-to-end financial literacy programme in at least two London schools with touchpoints into at least 1,000 new pupils across all initiatives by the end of Financial Year 2023 

We will seek sustainable forms of funding ensuring that as the charity scales there is an infrastructure to support its effective running into the future 

We aim to onboard volunteers to support in these efforts sequestering support from volunteers in professional services who help in execution of content, become mentors, and provide opportunities for Quidsmart graduates

Practice). Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
