Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
