Where does Benefacts get its detailed financial data?

Accounts filed by charities that are not incorporated (mainly dioceses, religious denominations and charitable trusts) are not made available by the Charities Regulator.

Each year, as soon as they have been filed, Benefacts acquires financial statements from all available sources, analyses them and re-keys their contents into the database. The items harvested include elements of the Directors’ and Auditor’s report, the balance sheet, income & expenditure account, and notes to the accounts including statutory disclosures (payroll costs, number of full-time equivalent employees, higher remuneration, related party disclosures).
