ACNC Commissioner, Susan Pascoe AM, said the consultation process was an opportunity to provide feedback on proposed changes to the 2016 Annual Information Statement and reporting requirements in general.

“We are a consultative regulator and are very keen to get the sector’s feedback on these changes and also reporting requirements more broadly,” she said.

“The proposed changes to the 2016 Annual Information Statement are intended to remove unnecessary questions, improve the way a charity’s information is displayed on the ACNC Charity Register, and to provide further clarity on the information collected by the ACNC for compliance purposes.”

The ACNC will continue the in-person consultations that are already underway, heading to Brisbane and Melbourne in the next few weeks.
