    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
    • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
