Charities – new charities laws and governance reviews

Charities – new charities laws and governance reviews

The changes to the Charities Act will affect your group if your group has charitable tax status (i.e. if it is registered with Charities Services and your group’s name appears on the online register at www.charities.govt.nz). Among other things, this update law introduces some new rules about how you do your financial reporting, how you do your fundraising and whose names needs to be on that Charities Services website. In addition it will require you to do a ‘governance review’ of your charity at least once every 3 years – something you’ll be asked to report on in an upcoming annual return that you file with Charities Services. This workshop, run in conjunction with Community Law Canterbury, may be of interest to your group if you’d like to know more about the changes to this law.
