Records that your non profit organisation must keep as evidence for compliance and checks.

by Cass CCE last modified Oct 26, 2010 12:47 PM

Your organisation must keep records of:

  • signed minutes of board meetings (and sub-committees) to evidence how decisions were made and how the board has met its legal responsibilities, eg reports on health and safety
  • accounting records (paper and/or electronic) to provide an audit trail and to inform any query made; compliance with the charity SORP; regulation from the Charity Commission regarding the submission of annual returns, annual reports and accounts
  • evidence of checks on employees including their right to work in the UK and disclosure checks with the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) where applicable).
