Its objective is to make practical changes to support charities to continue their vital contribution to community well-being. It would also aim to ensure that that contribution is sufficiently transparent to interested parties and the public. The bill would do this by—
- enabling simpler financial reporting from small charities to reduce the compliance burden
- improving access to justice for charities in the appeals process:
- enhancing regulatory decision-making requirements, to further promote transparency and fairness
- clarifying the role of officers and supporting the governance of charities
- improving regulatory compliance and enforcement tools.
