Introduction

• Financial Reporting

• Annual Information Statement

• Reporting to other regulators

Benefits for Volunteer Organisations & Managers

These resources help empower volunteer management practitioners and their organisations to ensure their charity is meeting its financial reporting obligations. Clear and accurate financial reporting builds trust with donors and demonstrates responsible use of funds.
