30.4 Liquidity risk

The HSRC manages liquidity risk through proper management of working capital, capital expenditure and actual versus forecast cash flows and its cash management policy. Adequate reserves and liquid

resources are also maintained. Budgets are prepared annually and analysed monthly against performance to ensure liquidity risks are monitored.

30.5 Market risk

The HSRC has limited exposure to market risk.

30.6 Fair values

The HSRC’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, payables and receivables. No financial instrument was carried at an amount in excess of its fair value and fair values could

be reliably measured for all financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

33.6.1 Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and held-to-maturity financial assets approximates fair value due to the relatively short- to medium-term maturity of these financial assets.

33.6.2 Other receivables from exchange transactions

The carrying amount of other receivables from exchange transactions approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial assets.
