Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but spending has been increasing rapidly
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
