“The Board has set a Reserves Policy: « The most significant risk to the financial sustainability of the Hospice is the potential for a rapid deterioration in income, which cannot be matched, immediately with a corresponding reduction in costs. Therefore, reserves should be sufficient to cover the maximum foreseeable reduction in income within a period of 12 months. In addition, reserves should also allow for the completion of capital expenditure projects in progress or planned for the following 12 months, should cover the anticipated monthly fluctuation in cash flows and include a contingency for unexpected material expenditure not included in the budget for the coming year.”
