MACS SUPPORTING CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Risk Management To identify the strateglc and corporate risks that threaten the work of MACS, we apply the principles of risk management through a comprehenslve risk register. The Board of Director5 has developed controls through a mix of systeffls, people, policies, procedures, conlracts and other actlvities developed to mitigate, transfer or avold identlfied risks. The risk register Is revlewad by the Govemance and Risk Committee quarterfy wlth a Summary Corporate Risk Register reviewed at each Board meeting. The following process outlines kèy areas of r8sponsibility in rèlallon to effectively manging the risk reglster.. MACS SMT monltor extemal and intern81 changes for new risk potenlial and changes in the residual values of existing risks MACS SMT provides a summary of major and new risks identiflad for each Board meeting together wsth an evaluated risk score and proposèd controls and mitigatlon measures MACS SMT provides a summary of issues that may impact on the residual value of existlng rlsks, and actions that may ba required MACS Board reviews the summary and approves or update6 the rlsk 8valuation, a¢tlons and ownership, The summary risk register Is then updated to not8 the ntrOlSIMitigallons as agreed wlth the Board. MACS Board revl8ws all Critical Rlsks to malntsin a dose watching brlef on the implementallon of controls and mitigations. MACS work Involves working with vulnerable young peop19 and a risk ltUre has been ¢ultlvated to protect both those who use the services and staff. Thls Risk Register is informed by operational risk regislers across all servlce11neslfunctlons. Managèment of risk is a standing agenda item on monthly SMT meeting agenda, leadership meeting agenda8, Health & Safety meeting agendas and supervision meetings. MACS Risk Register focuses on the followlng areas: Governance Operations Flnan Extemal FaGtors l Repulation LggaS, Regulation and Compllance In addition, MACS has in place an Internal Audit strategy (2023-20261. During the year, the following Internal audits were completed: Risk Management Infomiation Management Reservès Pollcy MACS Supporting Young People would experience financial dlfficulties If its income dropped suddenly or was to run in the future at a level considerably lower than today. If the fall were of a temporary nature caused by a delay in reviewlng contractual arrangements, then reserves would be need6d to cover the income lost during the temporary period. In detemilning the level of reserves required, it is necessary to assess how long it would take to wind up MACS and the cost to run it during thls peri¢Jd, assuming a major fall in its level of income such that it no longér remained viable to continue to operate. Allowance would also need to be made for temiinalion costs such as redundancy and early settlement of leas8S and any legal and other professional fees arising during this preSs. In Ilne with guidance issued by Ihe Charity Commission. it would appear PTudent to set aside reserves representing approximately three months, income or a figure of £400,000 (whichever is smaller) which should be adjustsd each year to allow for both inflation and any major increase in running CSts. The actual reserves at the year-end were approximately £1,000,731 which is in line with the company's target. The Trustees will closely monitor Ihls sltuation each year.
