Questions my clients ask me

To ensure good governance trustees should make use of materials such as the Charity Governance Code, they should learn from other charities (both their positive and negative actions), connect with other charities and trustees, review and understand their governing documents and most of all seek advice when uncertain.

Tax advice should always be sought prior to setting up a charity.

Previous forms of charities were governed by, and registered, with both Companies House and the Charity Commission. Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) on the other hand are governed and registered solely with the Charity Commission. This reduces the administrative responsibilities of the trustees.
