Ethics and Morality

Championing the ethical and moral standards expected by beneficiaries, supporters, staff and other stakeholders and ensuring that they are always met. Protecting the reputation of the charity. Ensuring that your organisation adheres to best practice and the often higher standards expected of the not-for-profit sector.

The world in which charities work is very different to the commercial world. Practices that might go unremarked in business are unacceptable in the not-for-profit sector. Yet
paradoxically, charities have a responsibility to their stakeholders to ensure they operate as efficiently as possible. In reality, there is no tension between how you present your charity to its stakeholders and the responsibility that you have to ensure that you run your organisation in a business-like manner.
