Case Studies

This following case study is an example of just how Charity Business has helped its clients - and how it can help you.

EnCams (Keep Britain Tidy)

Charity Business has been working with ENCAMS, an environmental charity responsible for the Keep Britain Tidy Campaign, in order to ensure its risk management is compliant with Charity Commission legislation.

ENCAMS had no Internal Audit function and having just set up an Internal Audit Committee, were needing guidance on how the Committee should function as well as support for the Internal Audit and associated risk management.

To support these requirements, Charity Business was selected to operate as internal auditors ensuring that the Committee and the charity had not only independent advice but the flexibility of support.  Following the introduction of new legislation, risk management has become critical for registered charities.  It is important for organisations to fully understand how efficiently they work, assess what their major risks are and establish controls to minimise risk.  In many cases, organisations do not have the time or expertise in house to carry out this type of work.  The opinion of someone external to the organisation, as in the case of Charity Business, is often invaluable as well as bringing experience of similar organisations.
