THE CATHEDRALS ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE ASSOCIATION

CAFA encourages high standards of administration and financial management within English Anglican Cathedrals by: liaising with Church central bodies, and government and its agencies; issuing guidance on administration and financial issues; organising an annual conference, day conferences and regional meetings to provide training and share information and best practice.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities

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 is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
