Run, manage and administer your PAF, charity or NFP
Navigate the regulatory landscape so you can focus on creating meaningful impact in your community.
What does ongoing management of a PAF, charity or NFP involve?
What are the ACNC governance standards and how do they apply?
What are the distribution requirements for a Private Ancillary Fund?
A PAF must distribute a minimum of 5% of the market value of its net assets to DGR-endorsed organisations each year (proposed changes to guidelines will increase this to 6% in the future), or $11,000, whichever is greater. The distribution must be made by 31 October each year. Failing to meet this requirement can result in significant penalties. We will monitor your obligations and advise you on compliance.
What personal liability can directors or trustees of a charity face?
How often does a registered charity need to report to the ACNC?
Maintain DGR status and tax concessions through proactive compliance.
Maximise charitable impact while minimising administrative burden.
Protect directors and trustees from personal liability.
