National Charity case study
ACNC-registered charity, $9m revenue, 40 staff. The charity board could not answer a simple question from donors: "how many months of operating cost do you hold in reserve?" Grant acquittals were three months behind.
Client
ACNC-registered charity, $9m revenue, 40 staff. Sector: Not-for-Profit.
Challenge
The charity board could not answer a simple question from donors: "how many months of operating cost do you hold in reserve?" Grant acquittals were three months behind.
Our approach
We designed a board-approved reserves policy (target range, triggers, liquidity tests), rebuilt restricted vs unrestricted fund tracking, and brought grant acquittals current.
Outcome
Board now reviews reserves monthly with a defensible target. Grant acquittals delivered on time every quarter. Audit completed with zero adjustments for the first time in the charity's history.
