## Financial Review 

|||
|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s financial<br>position at the end of the period|£0.00|
|Statement explaining the policy for<br>holding reserves stating why they<br>are held|Given this is a newly incorporated CIO, total receipts net off with<br>total payments (single transaction occurred in the year), hence<br>total reserves is £0.00. In the next financial year, we hope to<br>transition our operations from old CCUK entity (No. 1117274) to<br>this new CIO in which funds should flow through regularly<br>creating a potential reserve.<br>A Reserve policy was deemed unnecessary by its Trustee’s, as<br>the CIO did not actively operate in 2023. Going forward if the<br>situation changes, the entity should align a best practice reserve<br>policy for 2024, if applicable.|
|Amount of reserves held|£0.00|
