Corporate Governance in a Charity

Gerald Vinten

Corporate Governance: An International Review, 1997, vol. 5, issue 1, 24-28

Abstract: This article considers notions of accountability and governance in the charitable sector. It suggests a model of accountability based on a case study of a well known, but anonymous charity. The opportunities for voluntary bodies are increasing and more state funds are becoming available; but with them comes a demand for more public accountability. A definition of accountability is proposed and the extent of the charity’s compliance discussed. From this inventory of compliance, conclusions are drawn as to reforms needed in the charity’s structure and management if it is to become more in tune with its environment.
