The Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC): Implementation Taskforce Discussion Paper
The ACNCT Discussion Paper has been released to seek feedback on the functions and operations of the ACNC. The paper discusses the design and implementation of the new reporting framework for charities that will be administered by the ACNC and is a central platform for the Government’s vision of ‘report once-use often’ reporting for the NFP sector. The paper also seeks comments on the ACNC’s public information portal, and the ACNC’s educative role.
Closing date for submissions: Monday, 27 February 2012
Members can access the discussion paper by visiting
To assist Research Australia in the preparation of its response, members are requested to forward copies of their submissions and/or issues they wish to raise to Elizabeth Foley elizabeth.foley@researchaustralia.org by COB 14 February 2012.
Consultation Paper: Review of the Not-for-profit Governance Arrangements
Assistant Treasurer, the Hon Bill Shorten MP, recently announced the release of a Consultation Paper into governance arrangements for not-for-profit (NFP) organisations.
The Government is consulting on what the core organisational governance principles applying to registered NFPs should be. The paper looks to implement a single governance scheme across the NFP sector regardless of structure.
The proposed governance principles are grouped into the following areas:
- duties and minimum standards of responsible individuals, including rules for proper organisational management and running of the entity;
- disclosure requirements and managing conflicts of interest;
- risk management procedures, including external reviews and auditing requirements;
- the coverage of the minimum requirements of governing rules; and
- relationships with members (where applicable).
Research Australia encourages Members to read the Consultation Paper and send in submission to Elizabeth Foley elizabeth.foley@researchaustralia.org by COB 10 January 2012.
Queries and submissions should be sent to: NFPReform@treasury.gov.au
