Charity Accountability Standards, developed by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, provide assistance to donors in making sound giving decisions and to foster public confidence in charitable organisations. The standards relate to governance and oversight, measuring effectiveness, finances, and fundraising. Organisations that comply with these standards have provided documentation to sow that they meet basic standards in how they govern their organisation, in the ways they spend their money, in the truthfulness of their representations, and in their willingness to disclose basic information to the public.
