49. Regulatory Requirements

  • Who is responsible for risk management in a charity? 50. The responsibility for the management and control of a charity rests with the trustee body and therefore their involvement in the key aspects of the risk management process is essential, particularly in setting the parameters of the process and reviewing and considering the results. 51. What are the legal requirements for charities in relation to risk management? 52. Charities that are required by law to have their accounts audited must make a risk management statement in their trustees' annual report confirming that '...the charity trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the charity is exposed and satisfied themselves that systems or procedures are established in order to manage those risks.'(Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 53. Major risks are those risks that have a major impact and a probable or highly probable likelihood of occurring. If they occurred they would have a major impact on some or all of the following areas:
      • governance; 54. operations; 55. finances; 56. environmental or external factors such as public opinion or relationship with funders; 57. a charity's compliance with law or regulation.
