Risk and Internal Control
The District Exe¢ulive Committee has Identlfied th& major risks
lo whlch they believe the District 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 lo the building, propety and equlprnenl, The District
would request the use of buildlngs, property and equipment
from neighbouring organisalions such as the church,
community centre and other Scout Groups, The District has
sufficient buildlngs and contents insurance in pla¢e to miligale
against perman8nl loss.
Injury lo leaders, helpers, supporters and membsrs. The
District through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Association8 national a¢¢ident insurance pollcy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all aclivilies.
Reduced Incom8 from fund ra15ing. The Dlstrlcl 18 prlmarlly
reliant upon income from subscriptions and rent. Tha group
does hold a reserve lo ensure the Gonlinuity of aclivlties should
there be a major reduction in income. The Committee could
raise the value of subscrlptlons lo In¢rea3e the income lo the
dlslrlct on an ongolng basis, either lemporartly or permanently.
Reducllon or loss of lead8rs. The Dlslrict is totally reliant upon
volunteers lo run and admlnlsler the aclivilles of the district. If
there was a reduction In the number of leaders lo an
unacceptable level in a partlcular group or the di51rlct as
whole then there would have lo be a contractlon, consolidaliDn
or closure of a group. In Ihe worst case scenarlo the complete
closure of the dlslriGI.
Risk and Intemal Control

designed lo provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all
