Community organisations face a range of legal and regulatory obligations, and keeping up with changing requirements can sometimes feel overwhelming.

This practical online session will help charities and incorporated societies build their understanding of key compliance responsibilities and identify the steps needed to maintain good governance and organisational health.

• Compliance obligations for registered charities

• Requirements under the Incorporated Societies Act

• Governance and reporting responsibilities

• Constitutions, policies, and record keeping

• Annual returns and ongoing reporting obligations

• Common compliance risks and challenges

• Practical tips to help organisations stay on track

Whether you're a board member, manager, administrator, volunteer leader, or involved in governance, this session will provide a useful overview of the compliance landscape for community organisations.
