The Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission has released their annual charity report analysing the activity of 51,536 charities over 2022. The report looks at the revenue, expenses and equity of charities in Australia, with a focus on extra small charities and the impact the cost of living crisis has had on those charities.  

Not-for-profit organisations and charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) often engage in agreements and arrangements with individuals or entities with whom they share pre-established connections or a common interest, particularly when starting out.

Harwood Andrews was very pleased to host the Commissioner of the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission (ACNC), The Hon Dr. Gary Johns as our keynote speaker for our Charity & Not-for-Profit event, this year held as a live webinar.

Last week, the Australia Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission introduced External Conduct Standards (ECS), with which all charities that operate overseas (including Basic Religious Charities) must comply.
