Recent reports and proposed legislation (including the Law Commission’s report on Incorporated Societies and the Financial Reporting Bill) raise questions about organisational structure. Choices made affect operational structures, organisational reporting and governance. In this seminar/workshop you will be challenged to consider:

• What changes are occurring in the structure and regulation of not-for-profit entities?
• Is your organisational structure the right one for your operations?
• How does the choice of structure affect your reporting obligations?
• What reporting choices allow your organisation to respond to demands for local and national accountability?
