Dear Benjamin,

This month's eNews highlights the results of the 17th annual Charity Finance Audit Survey, which is based on data from 1,097 charities with collective annual income of over £20bn.  There is a change in the top-ranking auditor by fee income and a reshuffle in satisfaction ratings since last year.
 
You'll also find features on permanent endowment and volunteers' rights, plus a detailed argument on why independent schools deserve their charity status.
 
This is the last Civil Society Finance eNews for 2009.  We'd like to wish our readers a very merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.  See you in January!
