THE SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF BUDDHIST UNDERSTANDING 

Distribution of the book The Teaching of Buddha and promotion of buddhist studies at universities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
