FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial posilion
The Academy's policy is to hold enough funds to allow us to be reactive rf any of the teams require
investment or support. It is not an aim to maximise our cash and bank holdings. Al the year end
the Academy had unrestrlcted funds, not invested in fixed assets, of £45,904. With us now having
25 teams including an amateur team, and age groups from 2002 10 2013, the Academy, although
aware of its charitable nature, needs to have enough working capital to support ALL of these
teams at any lime. The Academy board and trustees are'content this amount is appropriate.
