Financial review	Financial review
Policy on reserves	The policy of the Group regarding reserves is to hold sufficient to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur. The trustees currently set the reserve at £15,000. The trustees identify and review the major risks to which they believe the Group is exposed and have established procedures to mitigate them. There are no funds in deficit.

Further financial review details:

A joint committee, including representatives from the executive committee of the Group, manages the Headquarters building and the Group’s interest in this joint venture is shown in the statement of financial activities. The other party in the joint venture is the local Girl Guides association.

As agreed at the 1st Alcester Scout Group Exec meeting on 11th July 2022, from this financial year onwards, there has been a change in accounting policy for the representation of the share of the Leasehold, Land and Building value. In previous years a depreciating share of the original building construction costs was shown in the Leasehold, Land and Buildings entry. However as the land is owned by the Moorfield Trust with a lease granted to the Guides Association, with no ability to sublet the land, there is no value to 1st Alcester Scouts Group in the Land or Lease. Additionally, although the building had a cost to construct, it has no value because at the end of the lease it will be taken over by the Moorfields Trust.
