The Importance of Regulatory Compliance
Charities in the UK are subject to various laws, regulations and reporting requirements.
Ensuring compliance with these regulations is vital for several reasons:
1. Maintaining Charitable Status: Compliance with regulatory standards is necessary to obtain and maintain charitable status. Without it, your organisation may lose its eligibility for tax benefits and other privileges.
2. Public Trust: Regulatory compliance builds and maintains public trust. Donors, supporters, and beneficiaries want to know that your charity operates ethically and transparently.
3. Legal Obligations: Charities have legal obligations to report financial information, adhere to governance standards, and follow specific rules related to fundraising and spending.
4. Risk Mitigation: Compliance helps mitigate legal and reputational risks that could harm your charity’s mission and operations.
