Guidance booklets from the Charity Commission
The charity commission publish a number of guides
for trustees and accountants. Some of these may rarely
be relevant to many charities, but some of them should
be well thumbed and used on a daily basis as the foundation
upon which the governance of a charity is built.
This section firstly lists links to the ‘CC
guidance’ booklets and then lists other regularly
accessed publications from the Charity Commission.
There are more publications on the Charity
Commission website and on the website of Office
