LOTUS FOUNDATION

FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT, IN MALAWI, AND ELSEWHERE (WORLDWIDE) AS THE TRUSTEES MAY FROM TIME TO TIME THINK FIT:

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
This charity appears to be dormant
