Risk and Internal Control (Specimen 11
The Group Executive Commrttee has identified the major
risks to which they believe the Group is exposed, these
have been reviewed and systems have been established io
mitigate against them. The main areas of con￿rn 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. communty centre and other Scout Groups. Similar
reciprocal arrangements exist wth these organi5*"ons. The
Group has sUffic￿nt buildings and contents Insuran￿ in
pla￿ to mitigate against pemianent loss.
Injury to leaders, helpers. supp)rters and members. The
Group through the capitation fees contn"butes to the Scout
Asscciations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activibes.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant income from ssjbscriptions and fvndraising. The
group dcts hold a reserye to ensure the continuty of
actsvth.es should there be a major reductr.on in income. The
Commfftee could raise the value of subscriptions to
increase the inixjme to the group on an ongoing basis,
either temt¥Jrarity or permanenty.
Reduction or loss of lewlers. The group is totally reliant
upon volunteers to run and administer the actNities of the
group. If there was a reduth.on in the number of leaders to
an unacceptable level in a particular seth.on or the group as
a whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidatM)n or dosure of a section. In the worst case
nario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or k)ss of members. The Group provides
actsvities for all young Ftople aged 6 to 18. If there was a
reduction in membership in a particular section or the group
as whole then there woukJ have to be a contfaction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
