Article Abstract:
A report published by Home Office noted that in the government's view, easy access to accurate and relevant information about charities is essential for real accountability, and for trust and confidence in charities. A new standard information return (SIR) is proposed for larger charities highlighting key qualitative and quantitative information about the charity and also, focused on how it sets objectives and measures outcomes against these.
