Having behavioural issues ignored has become an expectation - until now, that is. A trendy term is behavioural governance.

Very interesting debate. Having worked in the charity sector for nearly 20 years as a consultant I am afraid I have come across too many examples of where chief execs of charities have abused expense systems for this to be ignored. I am pleased to say that this is very much the exception rather than the rule and I am sure the vast majority of expenses claims are fair and reasonable. However there are cases when the exception applies. So let’s be transparent and above board on expenses. At the least it might stamp out some of this abuse. I think it is time for charities to be much more transparent across the board and this would be a good step in the right direction.

Whether we like it or not, some charities waste their IT investment. John Tate looks at the reasons.

Exicitement turns to dred for a charity trustee when upon employing a very experience women as chief executive, it turns out she had embezzled over £100,000 from the private sector firm she was made redundant from.
