Ms Mary Hurley:

It is very useful for transparency and audit. The Benefacts project happened at a particular time in 2014. Since then, the Charities Regulator compiles accounts and reports and covers many of those not-for-profit organisations. That data are available from the Charities Regulator. It is at a point in time. It is useful information for research purposes. My Department has used it for research purposes. The issue for me as Accounting Officer is around current data, being able to make grant applications straightforward for the applicant, and making printing off reports more streamlined. We obviously have lots of data in the Department relating to individual schemes. Sometimes the challenge is pulling it all together. Such a system would offer that opportunity.
