|||Risk and Internal<br>Control (Specimen 1)||
|||The Group Executive Committee<br>has identified<br>the major||
|||risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these||
|||have been reviewed<br>and systems have been established|to|
|||mitigate against them. The main areas ofconcern that have||
|||been identified are:||
|||Damage to the building,<br>property<br>and equipment:<br>The||
|||Group would request the use ofbuildings,<br>property<br>and||
|||equipment<br>from neighbouring<br>organisations<br>such as the||
|||church,<br>community<br>centre and other Scout Groups. The||
|||Group has sufficient buildings<br>and contents insurance<br>in||
|||place to mitigate against permanent<br>loss.||
|||Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters<br>and members: The||
|||Group through<br>the capitation fees contributes<br>to the Scout||
|||Associations<br>national<br>accident insurance<br>policy. Risk||
|||Assessments<br>are undertaken<br>before all activities.||
|||Reduced income from fund raising: The Group is||
|||primarily<br>reliant upon income from subscriptions<br>and||
|||fundraising.<br>The group does hold a reserve to ensure the||
|||continuity<br>ofactivities should there be a major reduction|in|
|||income. The Committee<br>could raise the value of||
|||subscriptions<br>to increase the income to the group on an||
|||ongoing basis, either temporarily<br>or permanently.||
|||Reduction orloss ofleaders: The group is totally reliant||
|||upon volunteers<br>to run and administer<br>the activities ofthe||
|||group.<br>Ifthere was a reduction<br>in the number ofleaders to||
|||an unacceptable<br>level in a particular<br>section orthe group|as|
|||awhole then there would have to be a contraction,||
|||consolidation<br>or closure ofa section. In the worst case||
|||scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.||
|||Reduction orloss ofmembers: The Group provides||
|||activities for all young people aged 6to 18.Ifthere was a||
|||reduction<br>in membership<br>in a particular<br>section or the group||
|||as a whole then there would have to be a contraction,||
|||consolidation<br>or closure ofa section. In the worst case||
|||scenario the complete closure ofthe Group.||
|||Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 2)||
|||The group has in place systems of internal<br>controls that are||
|||designed<br>to provide reasonable<br>assurance<br>against material||
|||mismanagement<br>or loss, these include 2 signatories<br>for all||
|||payments<br>and comprehensive<br>insurance<br>policies to ensure||
|||that insurable<br>risks are covered.||
