The policy was put into effect and will
ensure compliance with “The Code

charities should maintain some level of
reserves to ensure long-term financial
sustainability, the charity should disclose
its reserves policy in the annual report.”
PCS has also put in place its Conflict
of Interest Policy (COI) to protect the
Organisation’s welfare and best interests
over and above all priorities and objectives.
The COI mandates that no staff or Board
of Directors may engage in any external
interest or business that may undermine
or conflict with the Organisation’s overall
welfare.
Presbyterian Community Services has
its “Reserves Policy” to provide financial
stability and the means for further
improvement of its activities. PCS seeks to
build up the reserves at a level equivalent
to 12 months of operating expenditures
based on the preceding year’s actual
operating expenses.
The COI and declaration form shall be
