Document background
The Fundraising Risk Assessment Template has been developed in response to the complex regulatory environment governing fundraising activities in Australia. Organizations engaged in fundraising face various risks including financial, operational, reputational, and compliance risks, which must be properly assessed and managed. This document provides a standardized approach to risk assessment that complies with requirements set by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and state/territory fundraising authorities. The template is designed to help organizations identify potential risks, implement appropriate controls, and maintain proper documentation of their risk management processes. It is particularly valuable for organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions in Australia, where different state and territory regulations may apply.
