The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission have published the initial findings on the integrity of the data contained in the Charity Register. The ACNC has reviewed the records of thousands of charities to ensure that information on the Charity Register is accurate and up to date, and that the Charity Register contains only charities that are entitled to be registered.
The project reviewed charities in three areas:
- Charities endorsed as Deductible Gift Recipients (DGRs): Reviewing 2% of charities endorsed as DGRs annually to ensure they remain entitled to be registered.
- Charitable purposes and entitlement: Reviewing a selection of charities with certain risk factors to ensure they are maintaining their charitable purposes and entitlement to registration.
- Charity details: Reviewing charities to ensure they have provided all the information required to maintain registration.
