In particular we must insist on these organisations which are funded by the taxpayer providing us with published annual accounts. It is imperative we know exactly what percentage of funding trickles down to the coalface and targets those who need it most, and the sums of money that get caught up in the administrative costs. Essentially I am calling on the Department to embark on and undertake a due diligence procedure on the distribution of funding through these organisations. We must remember we are custodians of public money and have a duty to people to ensure we get value for money in the disbursements to charities. We must move for legislative change in the Charities Act 2009 to give effect to this to ensure we uphold the highest possible standards when it comes to aid effectiveness and distribution.
