Asset Governance in Charity

Charities and not-for-profit organisations are trusted with donor funds and public resources, making transparent asset governance essential for governance compliance, trustee accountability, and funder reporting. Assets ranging from vehicles and IT to specialist equipment used in programmes must be tracked to satisfy Charity Commission requirements and to demonstrate responsible stewardship. Many charities are unaware of the total value of assets in their possession.
