ACCESS ACCOUNTANCY 

A cross-sector initiative aiming to ensure access to our profession is based on merit and not background. Signatory accountancy and professional services firms provide work experience placements to students from disadvantaged backgrounds and evaluate the impact of these activities on both participating students and the shape of the wider workforce.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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