Is your organisation a charity? 2013 has been another year of significant change for charities and the not-for-profit sector. This timely seminar will provide an up-to-date look at the major developments in charity law and regulation and look ahead to what we might expect in 2014.

Topics covered will include:

  • the ACNC - where are we at and what might lie ahead
  • governance standards and what they mean for your board or committee
  • the new statutory definition of 'charity', and
  • the future of taxation reform - UBIT and the ‘in Australia' requirement.

The seminar will focus on the law affecting charities, though some topics may also be of interest to other not-for-profit groups.

If you're not sure whether your organisation is a charity you can check here on the ACNC register.

This seminar is being presented by Liz Morgan from the PilchConnect team:

PilchConnect strives to make our seminars accessible to small-medium NFPs, and we appreciate that many organisations have limited resources and rely heavily on the work of volunteers. We considered that a tiered fee structure was fairer to both smaller and large organisations. Most of the organisations that attend PilchConnect seminars will fall into the ‘small' organisation category - for both small and larger organisations we consider that the fees represent excellent value for professional legal information training.

As always we appreciate your feedback. PilchConnect can be contacted by - Email Icon email connect@pilch.org.au or call us on - Phone Icon 03 8636 4400
