What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: minimum level equal to (budgeted) 6 months’ recurrent fixed costs of rent and 1 years insurance, IT and audit costs at all times (held: £8k)

“QQF has a stated ambition to maintain reserves (cash in hand and in bank account) at a level equal to 3 months expenses taken from the average of the previous 3 years accounts. However, in recognition that QQF is still a small charity this is a substantial amount to withhold from its core activities and because QQF fixed expenditure/overheads are relatively low (staffing costs are on a flexible contract basis), are closely managed and not subject to significant change without notice, QQF will primarily ensure that reserves will be maintained at a minimum level equal to (budgeted) 6 months’ recurrent fixed costs of rent and 1 years insurance, IT and audit costs at all times.” — page 11
