Commission issues more public benefit examples

Finance | Gareth Jones | 24 Mar 2009

The Charity Commission has published three more example annual reports, covering parochial church councils, fee-charging schools and grant-giving trusts, as guidance on reporting public benefit.

“The examples are not templates”, said Andrew Hind (pictured), the Commission’s chief executive, “but we hope they will prove a useful tool for trustees as they report on their public benefit for the first time in the next set of annual accounts published after 31 March 2009.

“These examples allow charities to envisage in a practical way how their own trustees’ annual report might look as they move towards reporting on public benefit.”

The three new example reports accompany the Commission’s existing public benefit guidance and are available from the ‘public benefit guidance’ section of its website.
