Not for Profit eNews - April 2024
Welcome to the April 2024 edition of Not for Profit eNews
In this month’s edition of eNews, we delve into the four critical areas charity trustees and staff need to stay informed about for the legal landscape that affects their sector.
Review the changes introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act. As well as discuss the omission from the latest provisions of the Charities Act 2022, ex-gratia payments, which was brought into force in our February 2024 edition.
Finally, we also review the Procurement Act 2023 and the Charity Commission’s updated Chapter 5: Protecting Charities from Abuse for Extremist Purposes guidance.
