Reserves are held at £86,212, which the PCC considers within its policy of holding up to four months of budgeted expenditure.

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The financial position of the PCC looks strong in terms of total assets but much of the capital is allocated to fund modernisation works to our buildings. The PCC is therefore concerned at the increasing gap between our income and our non-exceptional expenditure and we will focus on addressing this in the coming months. Closing the gap should not be beyond us.” — page 10
