Hi, we are a registered charity in Ireland and we regularly produce our year end accounts. The question is do we need to make a return of our year end accounts to the registrar of charities just like we make returns to the company registrars office?
i look forward to your response.

Hello Kemi
There is at present no Charities Regulator, so the short answer is 'no'. If and when this changes, I am sure The Wheel and others will be vocal in making charities aware of any changes in their reporting requirements. You are clearly interested in good governance. Have you had a look at this yet: www.governancecode.ie? Wishing you every success.

Hi Kemi,
Sandra is right, there is currently no Charity Regulator in ireland.
The Charities Act 2009 does provide for the establisment of a Regulator, but that part of the Act has not been commenced.
