Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
