DERBY COMMUNITY ACCOUNTANCY SERVICE 

To promote the effectiveness and efficiency of charities or charitable activities of voluntary organisations, particularly by the provision of training, management skills, accounting and payroll services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
