Annual reports are an excellent way of showcasing your SLSC’s achievements over the past year and acknowledging the support of members, the community, sponsors and the government. Annual reports can also attract more members and funds by highlighting the valuable services you provide to the community.
As community expectations continue to rise, so does the focus on the quality and transparency of reporting, particularly in the NFP sector. This is one reason a copy of the SLSC’s annual report needs to be sent to its local SLSNSW branch and SLSNSW.
Each year, SLSNSW releases a guide to creating the SLSC’s annual report to help volunteers know what to include and the minimum reporting requirements to meet ACNC, NSW Department Fair Trading and SLSNSW compliance (which includes requirements to ensure the SLSNSW CFN is retained and not jeopardised).
Refer to the latest SLSNSW Annual Report Guidelines for SLSCs and Branches for more information on what to include in your SLSC’s annual report.
