"Good Intentions"

An Assessment of the Statement of Government Intentions for an Improved Community-Government Relationship. ANGOA's 2009/10 examination of the state of the relationship between the sector and government, with 15 recommendations.

Proposed new Accounting Standards Framework for Non-profit Organisations

The External Reporting Board (XRB, formerly the Accounting Standards Review Board; ASRB) in 2011 released a Position Paper and two Consultation Papers outlining proposals for a new Accounting Standards Framework for for-profit and for public benefit entities. The related Multi-Standards Position Paper is available here.

XRB organised a series of seminars on the discussion papers. If you were unable to attend, the PowerPoint slides that were used on the day as well as three podcasts summarising the same material that was covered in the seminars can be found on the XRB website by clicking here. Feel free to share these with your colleagues.

Submissions on the Consultation Papers closed 16 December 2011, and the XRB is analysing those. The draft framework is expected to be available from XRB in March or April of 2012, and further consultations will begin then.

See ANGOA’s submission and the attached document

In keeping with the ethos of public accountability for donated funds and for the receipt of tax concessions it is expected the final reporting framework will be compulsory for registered charities, but optional for incorporated societies, unincorporated societies, and Trusts that are not registered charities

ANGOA has made a funded agreement with Ministry of Economic Development

As part of this process ANGOA will be organising consultation sessions on a new Simple Format Reporting framework for Tier 3 Organisations with annual expenditure under $40,000. Consultations will also be run by the XRB and the Charities Commission.

ANGOA will be seeking host organisations in Auckland, Hamilton, Gisborne, Wellington and Dunedin to assist with these – if you are interested please contact the ANGOA coordinator
