Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
