Financial reporting to government


  • the government body that administers the type of incorporated structure (for example, Consumer Affairs Victoria, Australia Securities and Investments Commission)
  • fundraising regulators
  • the Australian Taxation Office (in relation to tax), and
  • the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (for registered charities)

More information about tax and fundraising 

For more information about tax and fundraising reporting requirements, see our resources on tax and fundraising. 

More information about whistleblowing 

If whistleblower protection laws under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) apply to your organisation, your organisation may have reporting obligations under these laws. Our resources on whistleblower protection laws sets out obligations that arise under these laws. 


Note

CLGs that are registered charities with the ACNC no longer report annually to ASIC. They report to the ACNC under a different reporting system.
