Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

The justification given for having a reserve fund is that it may be necessary, at short notice, for the authority to go to court or to incur a substantial legal cost and that its ability to act needs to be underpinned by having a reserve fund. I do not understand why that cannot be done through the annual budget and why it is necessary to have a reserve fund specifically for that, if the reserve fund is exclusively reserved for something of that kind. Is the distinction between the two clearly defined or is it merely extra money which can be used as needs be?
