The main areas of concern that have been identified are: _Lack of volunteer and staff Recruitment to deliver its activities._ The County would amend activities/premises available based on safe staffing levels. Where necessary, work with Districts to support Groups to continue to operate with safe volunteer levels in line with POR or temporarily move young people to other Groups (where possible). _Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members_ . The County through the national membership fees contributes to the Scout Association's national accident insurance policy. Volunteers undertake mandatory safety training and risk Assessments are undertaken before all activities. The County will also ensure that it is compliant in implementing the Scout Association's safety procedures. _Reduced income_ . The County is primarily reliant upon income from Hesley Wood Scout Activity Centre, membership fees and fundraising. Although business interruption insurance is in place for some activities the County does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of all activities should there be a major reduction in income. The Board could raise the value of subscriptions to increase the income to the County on an ongoing basis or scale back services provided, either temporarily or permanently. _Reduction, loss or change of senior volunteers_ . The County is totally reliant upon volunteers to run and administer the activities in Districts and Groups across the County. If there was a reduction or loss in the number of adults to an unacceptable level then there would have to be a reduction in activities and support given. Consideration could also be given to paying for services and/or working with other Scout Counties. A change in senior volunteers will be supported by increased County Trustee Board meetings and support from the Regional Lead Volunteer and Growth and Development Teams.

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on
reserves
Quantify and explain any designations|| ||**Reserves Policy**
The County's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient
resources to continue the charitable activities of the County
should income and fundraising activities fall short. The
County Trustee Board considers that the County should
hold a sum equivalent to 12 months of minimum running
costs, circa £75k
The County held reserves of approximately £231k at year
end, split between unrestricted funds of £76k and
designated funds of £155k. Should income and fundraising
activities fall short, there are sufficient funds within
unrestricted reserves to
cover the charitable activities of the County for a full 12
months. The trustees also reserve the right to transfer funds
from designated reserves to unrestricted reserves should
the In addition funds for specific designated events,
activities and| ||| ||In addition funds for specific designated events, activities
and resources can be held and will be defined within the
annual accounts.| ||| ||None| ||| ||| South Yorkshire County Scout Council Page 5 of 6 Registered Charity No: 523546 Further financial review details (optional information) **Investment Policy** The County's Income and Expenditure is mainly for day to day operations and designated developments and as consequence the County does not have sufficient funds to invest in longer-term investments such as stocks and shares. The County has therefore adopted a low risk strategy to the investment of its funds. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream banks or building societies or The Scout Association's Short Term Investment Service. The County Trustee Board regularly monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure the County obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements. Occasionally this may involve using an account that requires a period of notice before funds may be withdrawn, before doing so the County Executive considers the cash flow requirements. |**Section F**|**Other Optional Information**| |---|---| |Plans for future periods (details of any

It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report:** My examination was carried out under Section 145 of the Act in accordance with the General Directions given by Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. An examination includes a review of the accounting records maintained by the Charity and a comparison of the Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures included in the Financial Statements and seeking explanation from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all of the evidence that would be required under an audit, and consequently I do not express an opinion on the truth and fairness of the Financial Statements. ## Independent Examiner's Statement: In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any respect, the requirements: a) To keep accounting records, in accordance with Section 130 of the Act; and - b) To prepare Financial Statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, the attention of the Trustees or of the Members of the Society should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the Financial Statements to be reached.
