THE CAMBRIDGE CHINA DEVELOPMENT TRUST

The charity supports education and research in the field of economics, business studies, systems of governance and the development of leadership, managerial and business skills. The charity's principal activity is the annual China Executive Leadership Programme which brings together the leaders of Chinese business and the chief executive officers of global companies.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
