Financial review
Assets
| As at 31 July 2023 | As at 31 July 2022 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Unrestricted cash funds | £14,102 | £18,771 | |
| Restricted cash funds | £1,878 | £1,265 | |
| Total cash funds | £15,980 | £20,035 | |
| Liabilities | |||
| As at 31 July 2023 | As at 31 July 2022 | ||
| Liabilities | - | - |
The reduction in cash funds available at 31 July 2022 is primarily because of the CSA determining that it was holding too much cash and that it should distribute more to the school, which it did so through funding the outdoor classroom as a large capital investment for the school.
Policy on reserves: The CSA aims to maintain reserves of £5,000 for general contingency purposes, to cover one third of annual amounts typically pledged to the school, if fundraising efforts do not return sufficient money. The CSA will monitor the actual level of reserves and compare with the target level no less than once a year.
