CCCC Standards of Accountability

Standard 9: Code of Accountability

The organization's governing board shall develop a Code of Ethical Fundraising and Financial Accountability that sets out how the organization meets the points outlined in Standards 1 to 8 and shall regularly communicate its commitment to ethical fundraising and financial accountability as outlined in the Code to its board members, staff members, volunteers and anyone interested in how the CCCC Standards are being met.

Commentary

CCCC Standards have always addressed a breadth of accountability issues. Bringing these issues into a written code not only facilitates the public communication of its standards of accountability but promotes a greater internal awareness of the organization's standards and policies.

"Going through the rigour of getting the seal and maintaining the seal and looking at the standards is immensely helpful."
