A reserve is to be put aside in the event of a decline in gambling
|
It has been proposed that Alderney's gambling revenues should be "ring-fenced".
The idea is being put forward by the island's Policy and Finance Committee, which wants the Alderney Gambling Commission to agree a fixed budget.
The committee has said this is to ensure all gambling income and costs are fully co-ordinated.
It will also allow a reserve to be put aside in the event of a decline in the industry.
Managing finances
However, all the details of the proposal have yet to be finalised.
Meanwhile, £25,000 is being spent to make sure Alderney manages its finances more effectively.
Policy and Finance is working with KPMG to develop a "Corporate Economic Plan" for Alderney.
The committee stresses this will not involve the island being dictated to by consultants.
Instead it says it will provide a system by which the States can accurately predict how much money is needed and put in place measures to meet these objectives.
