1.New Fundraising Guidance (Revised 2012)
a)Introduction
•From the media’s perspective this is the number one compliance issue for charities
•Revised Fundraising Guidance released in March 2012
•The new Guidance is a significant improvement but is a longer document at 39 pages compared to 31 pages
•Although much improved, the new Guidance is still a complex document and will therefore require careful reading
•The Guidance will have impact on current CRA audits, not just future audits
•The Guidance will apply to all registered charities and to both receipted and non-receipted fundraising
