THE ASSOCIATION OF CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS

TO PROMOTE FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT THE EFFICIENCY OF EXCLUSIVELY CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS BY ENCOURAGING AND FOSTERING PARTICIPATION BY SECRETARIES AND OTHER EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF SUCH INSTITUTIONS IN DISCUSSIONS, CONFERENCES, SEMINARS AND LECTURES CONCERNED PRIMARILY WITH PROMPTING SUCH EFFICIENCY.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
