Adequate reserves refer to a sufficient amount of funds or resources set aside by an organization to cover future expenses, liabilities, or unforeseen events. These reserves are considered adequate when they are enough to meet the organization's financial obligations and provide a buffer against potential risks or emergencies without jeopardizing its financial stability or operations.
The level of adequacy can vary depending on factors such as the nature of the organization, its industry, regulatory requirements, and risk tolerance. Generally, having adequate reserves helps organizations maintain financial security, manage risks effectively, and navigate unexpected challenges or opportunities.
Whenever we do a reserve study, we look at your financials and plan for 30 years into the future, to ensure the long term health of the reserve accounts. We also take into account future capital improvments and repairs, as well as things that are immediately due. Nothing gets missed as this can end up costing you more in the future.
