Details

This book is a clear and practical guide to the legal and regulatory framework within which charities operate and its impact on their governance. Written by lawyers who specialise in advising charities, and drawing on the guidance provided by the Charity Commission and HM Revenue & Customs as well as the relevant law, it is aimed at the trustees and senior employees of charities and the lawyers, accountants, investment managers and other professionals who advise them.

Charity Governance deals comprehensively with charitable companies, charitable trusts, charitable incorporated organisations and other charitable bodies and with the legislative changes made by the Charities Act 2006, the Companies Act 2006 and the Finance Act 2006.

Written by a leading charity law firm this book will provide a practical account of the law and regulation applying to charities and how best to comply through good governance.
