Managing integrity, governance and compliance
Published Date: 15 Oct 2025
Maintaining a strong reputation is crucial for not-for-profit organisations in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Shortcomings in governance, integrity and regulatory compliance can quickly erode the goodwill that not-for-profits rely on for donations, grants, volunteer support, and stakeholder accountability and transparency. This article explores the growing challenges faced by not-for-profits in upholding good governance and integrity, while balancing the sometimes competing demands of their organisation and stakeholders. Drawing on legal and regulatory frameworks, and incorporating practical case studies, this article addresses several key issues that threaten the reputation of not-for-profits, including the remuneration of directors, managing conflicts of interest and related-party transactions. It includes practical recommendations for directors and executives to enhance integrity, transparency and compliance, supporting a notfor-profit’s long-term impact and credibility.
