Charities to face governance code for first time

Charities in Ireland will be subject to a code of governance for the first time later this year, according to the sector’s watchdog.

The announcement from the Charities Regulator is on the back of the publication of the report on a consultative panel’s findings on proposed recommendations for the code.

While the code itself has yet to be finalised, the panel’s findings provide an indication as to the manner in which the regulations will be drafted.
