PAPER INDUSTRY TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION

Dissemination of information and research to benefit the Paper Industry at large, the general public (especially younger people) through training courses, seminars, conferences and journal entitled Paper Technology International.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • 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
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
