DROSAFRICA

Training of scientists in Africa

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
The Board is predominantly female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
