The ACNC External Conduct Standards were established in 2019. The standards govern how registered charities must manage their activities and resources outside Australia. One year on from their arrival, this webinar looked some of the burning issues charities have experienced in complying with the standards over the past 12 months, as well as current challenges relevant to charities operating overseas.
Registered charities in Australia must report annually to the ACNC. This reporting sees charities complete and submit an Annual Information Statement and, in the case of medium and large charities, an annual financial report. Here we analyse charities’ reporting during the 2019 reporting period.
To coincide with Charity Fraud Awareness Week, this webinar examined aspects of charity fraud, and provided provide practical guidance on how people can protect their charity from this type of wrongdoing.
With many charities holding AGMs and welcoming new board or committee members, our September webinar looked at how to properly induct new Responsible People, as well as emphasising the vital role they have in a charity's governance. The webinar provided practical guidance and tips for successful charity induction programs, and examined ACNC Governance Standard 5 - the Standard which establishes the key duties for Responsible People.
Our March webinar looked at the important responsibility that registered charities have to protect young people and vulnerable beneficiaries. In the webinar, we looked at those responsibilities and how they relate to charities' compliance with ACNC Governance Standards and External Conduct Standards. We also examined practical and meaningful ways charities can ensure they are fulfilling their role in this area.
