Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board composition very static?
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
