Section B
Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk and Internal Control {Specimen 1 }
The Group Trustee Board has identified the major risks to
which they believe the Group is exposed, these have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate
against them. The main areas of concern that have been
identified are:
Damage to the building, property and equipment. The
Group would request the use of buildings, property and
equipment from neighbouring organisations such as the
church, community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar
reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisations. The
Group has sufficient buildings and contents insurance in
place to mitigate against permanent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The
group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of
activities should there be a major reduction in income. The
Board could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the
income to the group on an ongoing basis, either temporarily
or permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant
upon volunteers to run and administer the activities of the
group. If there was a reduction in the number of leaders to
an unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as
a whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
3 LT700001 (14 September 2024)

Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides
activities for all young people aged 4 to 18. If there was a
reduction in membership in a particular section or the group
as whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 2}
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all
payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to
ensure that insurable risks are covered.

Dear Hana
Audit of Bedale Scout Accounts - 01108123 to 31107124
I have now completed the audit of the Bedale Scout accounts and have qualified the
accounts accordingly.
Records for the subsidiary account(s) held by the Scout section of the group were not
provided for this audit and therefore do not form part of the receipts and payments
account for the group.
On the basis of the records and explanations provided l am satisfied that these accounts
give a true and fair view of the fund's finances for the period.
Should you have any queries regarding the above please do not hesitate to contact me
at the above e-mail address.
Yours sincerely
