ACNC forms

• Annual Information Statement – Each year, your charity must submit an Annual Information Statement. You can also amend your charity's past Annual Information Statements if required.
• Request a substituted accounting period – If your charity wants to change its reporting period, you need to request a substituted accounting period in the online form.
• Upload an annual report – You can upload a copy of your charity’s annual report in the online form, and it will appear on the Charity Register. Please note that an annual report is different to an annual financial report, which is uploaded as part of the Annual Information Statement and is mandatory for medium and large charities.

• Add Responsible Person – You must add any new Responsible People (e.g. board or committee members, trustees) after they are appointed.
• Add Authorised Person – You can also add an Authorised Person, so they can access the Charity Portal to make changes or report on behalf of your charity.

If a Responsible or Authorised Person leaves your charity, you can remove them by clicking on their name in the list of your charity's current Responsible or Authorised People and entering the end date for their role.
