In this month's Commissioner's Column, Sue Woodward AM reflects on the achievements of the charity sector, the challenges it faces, and reminds us to remember the role we all play in supporting the sector’s valuable work.

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) has released key findings of a review into how charities protect vulnerable people from harm.

The ACNC is warning that scammers often try to take advantage of our generosity at this time of year, as we celebrate the festive season.

As part of Charity Fraud Awareness Week, Ian Parry from our Compliance team attended an international webinar where he explained how the ACNC's External Conduct Standards can help charities protect themselves from fraud. A recording of the webinar is now live.

Responsible financial management is vital to good charity governance. Our guidance can help your charity understand its obligations to the ACNC and covers legal duties, fraud prevention, fundraising obligations and compliance with the governance standards.
