Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
