The objective of an annual activity report is to provide information about an organisation’s activities, its financial performance and financial position that will be useful to a wide range of stakeholders in assessing the board/committee’s stewardship and management of the organisation’s resources and funds, and to assist the reader of the report to make decisions in relation to the organisation. To help organisations meet compliance requirements and standards of good governance in annual reporting, Carmichael has prepared templates for organisations of various sizes. The templates can be found on the Good Governance Awards website.
