Knowledge Hub

Charity Finance Group, in partnership with Buzzacott, Crowe Clarke Whitehill and Kingston Smith, has launched the General Data Protection Regulation: A guide for charities. The guide has something for every charity and is split into five parts; governance, fundraising data, financial data, beneficiary data and employee data. The guide is aimed at helping to build knowledge and understanding of what the GDPR is what responsibilities organisations have to be GDPR compliant and know what to do in light of a data breach. This guide is for anyone with responsibility for data management within their charity, from trustees, to finance directors, to volunteers.

MHA MacIntyre Hudson and Charity Finance Group (CFG) have launched a report on the effectiveness of trustees on financial governance. This report is based on a survey of over 120 trustees in charities, which was carried out before CFG’s 2017 Annual Conference.

This report highlights the lack of regular assessment of skills and competencies within trustee boards on financial governance, and warns against complacency within trustee boards on strategic financial governance.

Charity Finance Group and the British Academy Research Project Digitising the Mixed Economy of Welfare in Britain, based at UCL Institute of Education, have launched the Record management in charities: A toolkit for improvement.

This toolkit was generously funded by the UCL Public Policy Engagement Grant.
