Good Governance seminars take to the road

In association with the Developing Governance Group, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland will take to the road today with a series of free seminars focusing on good governance and charity regulation.

The seminars, to be held at venues across Northern Ireland, will focus on good governance within charities, looking at core areas such as annual reporting, trustee annual reports and public benefit reporting, matters of material significance and serious incident reporting.

The Commission will also use the events to raise awareness of its updated fundraising guidance, providing advice and information on topics including the new regulatory framework for fundraising, charity trustee responsibilities around safeguarding and the importance of preparing for the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into operation in May 2018.

The events will also provide an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.

In conjunction with local support networks, the events are currently scheduled as below, with more seminars to be added as soon as they are confirmed

Please note that places at each seminars are limited, with anyone wishing to attend a seminar encouraged to contact the appropriate organisations, as listed below.
