Administration, systems and compliance

• Who is responsible for statutory documents, procedures and disciplines? Who liaises with regulatory bodies, the treasurer, auditor and signatories to complete the process within the proscribed period? Did you meet your deadlines? Who ‘owns’ the task?
• How easy was if for you to edit and compile the Annual Report? How intensive was the effort and time needed to prepare this? Do you have a checklist and timeline of statutory "must-haves" and "desirable to be included" in the document?
• Who is the central point of contact for potential donors and regulatory bodies such as the Charity Commission, Companies House and other key bodies?
• Are your documents and correspondence clearly filed and easily retrievable?
• Is there a single point of failure within your administrative system?
• Who reports back to stakeholders and donors?
• Is there anyone with the relevant professional, business or accounting experience within your organisation?
• Is statutory information correctly displayed on your website, e-mails and marketing materials?
• Do you have the right systems to make this all easier?
