Accountability of UK charities

Abstract

This article examines the accountability practices of the largest charitable organizations in England and Wales by analysing information on the GuideStar UK website. The website is biased towards descriptive information and is light on evaluative information. Reporting practices of non-fundraising charities are weak, and disclosures for almost one-third of the charities were outdated. Clearly, more needs to be done to improve sector accountability.
