  • The Empirical Link Between Internal Audit, Contract Income and ‘Passthrough’ Efficiency in the Top 500 UK Charities
    14th European Academic Conference on Internal Audit and Corporate Governance Erasmus School of Accounting & Assurance, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands, 6th April - 8th April 2016 The Empirical Link Between Internal Audit, Contract Income and ‘Passthrough’ Efficiency in the Top 500 UK Charities Angela Toothill MSc CMIIA ACMA Cert ITM Senior Lecturer in Accounting & Finance Nottingham Business School Nottingham Trent University Burton St, Nottingham NG1 4BU United Kingdom E-mail : [email protected] The Empirical Link Between Internal Audit, Contract Income and ‘Passthrough’ Efficiency in the Top 500 UK Charities Abstract This conference paper discusses some of the findings from the author’s PhD thesis which considers the ‘marketisation’ of UK charities (Bruce & Chew, 2011) and subsequent governance evolution within the sector. It is argued that the considerable flow of public funds into the sector has resulted in charities altering their behaviour through having to focus on priorities identified by government and operate in ways in which they prescribe. Also, extensive performance information is also supplied to government under contractual terms and conditions (Hyndman & Jones, 2011). This study analyses financial statement data taken from a full set of the Charity Commission England & Wales database for years 2011 to 2013. The total income analysed represents the significant majority of the UK Charity Sector at approximately £50 billion per annum. The analysis covers £151 billion in total represented by 27,428 sets of financial results, across three reporting years and sixteen charity classifications. Sizes of organisations range significantly from one case that declared zero income right up to the largest charity with an income of £950 million.

  • Chapter 3 - Results
    ASSESSING PERFORMANCE OF ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE PHILANTHROPIC DECISION-MAKING by Leanne Katherine McConnachie B.A., The University of Victoria, 1988 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Animal Science) The University of British Columbia April 2007 © Leanne Katherine McConnachie, 2007 Abstract In 2005-06, 24 Canadian and American animal welfare organizations (AWOs) and foundations participated in an in-depth qualitative study to establish which performance criteria best determine the effectiveness of AWOs. Participants’ comments resulted in the development of a framework that offers individual donors and foundations a consistent approach to evaluating organizational performance. Termed the PREP Framework, this approach categorizes performance into four key pillars, each with its own components and criteria: 1. Philosophy - the organization’s beliefs and values, as reflected in its mandate, position statements, policies and practices; 2. Red Flags - indicators of problems in the organization, such as excessive personnel turnover, disproportionate management salaries, high administration and fundraising costs, lack of peer collaboration, poor financial statements; 3. Efficiencies - financial and operational conduct of the organization, including long term strategic planning, financial credibility and sustainability; and 4. People - abilities of those involved with the organization, including management, volunteers, peers, donors and board members. The study also explored the pros and cons of standardizing performance evaluation and found that many participants felt the sector would benefit from the use of more quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and standards to establish sector norms and trends. In addition, the research examined the sector’s familiarity with outcome measurement and found most participants struggled to clearly define outcomes for the sector.
