Family Carers Ireland is committed to achieving high standards of governance and during 2019 undertook a key project of adopting the Charity Regulatory Authority (CRA) Charities Governance Code with regard to strengthening its overall governance infrastructure. The board formally adopted the CRA Charities Governance Code in May 2019 ahead of the CRA requirement for charities to be compliant by 2020.
The organisation has once again achieved the Charities Institute Ireland ‘Triple Lock Standard’ for 2024, by signing up to the new Governance Code, adopting best practice reporting by adopting the Charity SORP (FRS 102) - Statement of Recommended Practice and adhering to the CRA Guidelines on Fundraising along with adhering to the CRA Internal Financial Control Guidelines for Charities.
