Under the 2011 Comprehensive Review of Expenditure, the Central Expenditure Evaluation Unit in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform produced a paper titled "CEEU Cross-Cutting Paper No.1 Rationalising Multiple Sources of Funding to Not-for-Profit Sector." (Copy supplied.)

Acton 4.2 of The Department of Rural and Community Development's strategy to support the community and voluntary sector in Ireland 2019-2024, for which that Department has lead responsibility, aims to develop appropriate compliance and monitoring arrangements and support capacity in the community development, local development and the broader community and voluntary sector to meet them, including

- reviewing the appropriateness of regulatory compliance requirements,

- developing and implementing a strategy to reduce, streamline and standardise all pubic-funded programme and regulatory monitoring, reporting and compliance requirements, where appropriate, and

- resource and support organisations to fulfil compliance requirements.

All non-profit organisations that are companies file their annual financial statements with the Companies Registration Office. The annual accounts of registered charities are made available on the Charities Regulator's online Register of Charities.
