||**Risk and Internal Control**
The Group Executive Committee has identified the major
risks to which they believe the Group 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:
Injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members. The
Group through the capitation fees contributes to the Scout
Associations national accident insurance policy. Risk
Assessments are undertaken before all activities.
Reduced income from fund raising. The Group is primarily
reliant upon income from subscriptions and fundraising. The
group does hold a reserve to ensure the continuity of
activities should there be a major reduction in income. The
Committee could raise the value of subscriptions to increase
the income to the group on an ongoing basis, either
temporarily or permanently.
Reduction or loss of leaders. The group is totally reliant upon
volunteers to run and administer the activities of the group. If
there was a reduction in the number of leaders to an
unacceptable level in a particular section or the group as a
whole then there would have to be a contraction,
consolidation or closure of a section. In the worst case
scenario the complete closure of the Group.
Reduction or loss of members. The Group provides activities
for all young people aged 6 to 18. If there was a reduction in
membership in a particular section or the group as whole
then there would have to be a contraction, consolidation or
closure of a section. In the worst case scenario the complete
closure of the Group.
The group has in place systems of internal controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance against material
mismanagement or loss, these include 2 signatories for all
payments and a comprehensive insurance policies to ensure
that insurable risks are covered.|
