Scenario - Organisational Growth

Choosing a legal structure

When setting up a group or organisation you need to make a decision on the type of organisation to set up and its correlating legal structure.

Legal terms explained

Community groups, voluntary organisations, and charities all have a legal structure that correlates with the way in which they have been set up.

Compliance

The management committee/board must ensure that the organisation understands and complies with its own governing document, relevant laws, contractual obligations and the requirements of any regulatory bodies.
