GOVERNANCE
Breakthrough Cancer Research continuously demonstrates openness, transparency and integrity to our donors, supporters, volunteers and funding partners by adhering rigorously to the triple lock standards set out by the Charities Institute of Ireland – ethical fundraising, transparent annual financial reporting and governance.
There are over 12,000 charities registered with the Charities Regulator of which only 123 are Triple Locked.
We are proud to maintain this high level of governance and integrity.
The Board of Breakthrough has formally adopted, is signed up to and is fully committed to achieving the Guidelines for Charitable Organisations Fundraising from the Public.
The Guidelines exists to:
- Improve fundraising practice
- Promote high levels of accountability and transparency by organisations fundraising from the public
- Provide clarity and assurances to donors and prospective donors about the organisations they support.
We, Breakthrough Cancer Research, have considered the Guidelines and believe we meet the standards it sets out.
Breakthrough’s annual accounts are independently audited every year by Moore Ireland. We prepare our accounts in accordance with Irish accounting standards and with reference to the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for charities.
