What the accounts disclose
“Mercy Outreach therefore aims to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves sufficient to cover approximately six months of core operational expenditure.”
“The charity acts as agent for Mercy Outreach Denmark ('MOD'), an independent charity that undertakes similar activities in Denmark. As agent, the charity has received money from MOD and has made payments for MOD to projects that both charities support in Myanmar. These receipts, payments and the balance of any unspent money have been excluded from these accounts because they do not belong to the charity.” — page 9
