The Government´s Christmas Gift To Charities And Not-For-Profits

At a time of year when Australia's charities and not-for-profit organisations are busier than ever, they must now consider the implications of the release of the report by the Senate Standing Committee on Economics on its inquiry into the governance, accountability and transparency of Australia's charities and not-for-profit organisations.

After receiving submissions from 183 organisations and individuals, the Committee has recommended sweeping changes to the regulation of not-for-profit organisations designed to increase transparency and accountability in the use of public and government funds. These changes will have comprehensive and far-reaching implications for the management of your not-for-profit organisation or for your commercial dealings with such bodies.
