Look out for these in-depth surveys published in selected issues of the magazine:

 

Charity Audit Survey

The Audit Survey is Charity Finance's longest-running survey, and has been widely credited with helping to suppress audit-fee inflation. It lists:
•    The top audit firms serving the sector and their fee revenue
•    The average audit fees paid by charities of different sizes
•     Ratings for how satisfied charities are with their auditors' performance

 
Charity Fund Management Survey

Charity Finance's Fund Management Survey provides an in-depth insight into in the investment firms serving the sector, as well as the latest trends in fund management. Using data provided by all of the major firms, it reveals:
•    Which have the most charity clients
•    How much they invest on their behalf
•    The latest thinking on issues such as socially responsible investment 

 
Charity Pooled Funds Survey

Most charities do not have sufficient funds to invest on a segregated basis, making pooled funds their gateway into the markets. However, even larger investors these days recognise that pooled funds offer an easy means for diversification and cost-efficiency. Even segregated investors may find that their managers have stationed large portions of their portfolio in pooled funds.This survey canvasses fund managers' views on:
•    The merits of pooled versus segregated investment
•    The merits of charity-specific pooled funds compared to those on the wider market
•    Risk and return characteristics of pooled funds
