FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves pollcy Coastline Sight and Hearing aims to maintain a general r¢s¢rve of unrestricted fvnd5 sufficient to meet its financiaL le8al 8rtd moraj obligations to its 5¢ryice us¢r8 employce5 and volunteer5 and to all T¢levant authwiti¢5." What 8r¢ reserves and why does Co&stline Sight and H¢arin8 Deed them? Rcserves are a paf¢¢l of unertcumbered assets that an organisation mainthins over and above those required for the day to day opernions. Bumps in the r02d Reserves allow the organi5ation to deal with any 'iwmps in the road,. such as sudden and unexpected reduetions in income or large items of ¢xpenditure that were fKJt budgeted for. It is typical Organisatio including a charity. to maintain a 8en¢ral res¢rv¢ ¢ompri5in8 ets which 4T¢ either (i.e. cleared fund5 at the bank) or in a fonn that can b¢ converted Èn to within the requira period. Coastlitte Sight and Hwing is no diff¢r¢nt to many other Organisations; it needs a genernl reserve.. - To ¢over a shotrfa]l in income, for example, if one of the trustees withdrew fiJndin8. the reserve Could be called upon to provide the necessary ushflow until a replaeement funderwas found. - To meet an unexpected expense. Closure In addition to the'bumps in the road, scenario. the existence of adequate reserves will ensure thal if th¢ worst happens aDd the organisation rteeds io be closed down. there will be sutricient funds rn¢et all of its obligations and liabilities as part of a managed exit. Why does Coastline Sight and Hearin8 tteed a ReseTVeS Policy g Coastlin¢ Sight and Hearing needs the Poliq for four principal reasons: l. To assist the Trustee5 to asse55 what the suffi¢i¢Dt level of reser4es should be at any given lime. Indeed. this will change over time the charity the s¢rvitts it provides change and the risk profile of its income and expenditure changes. li should be tkAed thaL whilst Coastline Sight and Hearing like all charities should be maintaining sutTicient reserves it aiso has a duty to not b¢ over-cautious and maintain excessive levels of reserves. Subject io maintsininB suffEcient reserves lin arywdance with the Poliey) Coastline Sighi and Hearing should apply all of its income in the PTOVtsion of the services detsiled in its Charitable objective& 2. To ctaTify the arrangements for monitoring attd reviewing the level of r¢s¢rve5. 3. For CornpliCc purpose5. as standard accouniirtg practice requires th¥rities to re)rt on tts r¢5erves and reseNes policy in the annual staiuiory accounts. 4. To assist with fvndraising. as many charitable trusts and similar or8anisatÈon5 now require details of. or even sight of. the Policy as pttrt of their assessment of any thnding application. How will the Policy apply in practlce? The Trustees will awe 8 thrget level for the 8¢n¢ral r¢serv¢. which will be kept under review gnd reassessed regularly. Th¢ tUa] level of reserves at Y time will then be measured agaittst this largel and appropri*e a¢tion thken to make up any shortfall l utilis¢ any surplus. How WKII the targe¢ level of general reserves be 8ss¢ss¢d? In assessing the appropriate level for the target gener81 T¢serv¢. the Tnte¢S will consider each of the following: l. Incotne risk.. the robusthess of the eurrent in¢om¢ 5tr¢am5, Coastline Sighi artd Hearing 5ensitivty to the partial or complete wtthdrawal of any p&rticular fundin8 50ur¢e and the likelihood and timing of any W)tentI r¢plwent / new fiknding. 2. Expenditure risk: the level of eonfiden¢¢ in th¢ ¢xp¢nditUT¢ budgeted for the current period, the likelih(A)d and likely magnitude of unbud8eted costs arising and the ability of Coast]in¢ Sight and Hearing io flex SPEndin8 in the Short to medium terni in response to unexp¢¢ted events. 3. Gener opuating environmertt.. the pol¢ntial external risks I developrnents I chan8e5 that ¢ould impKt Coastline Sight and Hearin8 operning position. sy¢h as ch8ng¢s in govemmertt legislation. changes in priorities at ihe lo¢al authority. activity by'comwilol charitie5 or ¢h¢ loss of key sthff members. 4. Cost of closure: should an event or events occur whi¢h se the Trustees io decide to d05¢ C08511ine Sight and Hearin& how closure of th¢ ¢harity would be managed and fund. Arrangements for monitorin8 and Teviewing the general res¢rv< and the Policy its¢lf . Given that Co&%¢lin¢ Sight and He&rin8 IA a , 8TO'wng organlsfttion, it 15 likely that the largei general rtserv¢ will Tr8e from time to tim¢. i Page5
