Expenses consultation opens

Finance | Tania Mason | 27 Jul 2009

The consultation on best practice relating to the disclosure of charity directors’ expenses has launched today as the independent working group running the consultation unveils its online survey.

The working group was set up by the NCVO and Charity Finance Directors’ Group after Charity Finance requested they publish the expense claims of their chief executives, as well as those of the Institute of Fundraising, Acevo and NAVCA.

All did except Stephen Bubb, chief executive of Acevo, who refused to publish his to the media but did disclose them to Acevo members at an Acevo conference attended by Charity Finance.

However, none of the chief executives have yet published their detailed claim forms, opting to wait until the working group produces its guidance, expected to be in December.

The working group is chaired by former Charity Commissioned Lindsay Driscoll (pictured).

Respondents that don’t want to complete the online survey can send an email with their thoughts to expenses@ncvo-vol.org.uk or write to Expenses Group, Regent’s Wharf, 8 All Saints Street, London N1 9RL. The consultation will close on 30 October.
