NPO Survey and associated information

Recently the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office issued a survey to all Non-Profit Organisations  i. e Charities and Non-Profit Companies  which are on our Register . The survey is being  undertaken  to gather information relative to the operations of charitable organizations  in Barbados  and also  to identify those entities which  are at risk and most vulnerable to terrorist financing .
 
Given the importance for an awareness of the misuse of charitable organizations to terrorist activity , the survey has served to sensitise persons  and bring awareness, particularly to Charity Trustees and Company Directors about the existing risks and the need to protect their organizations from  abuse by terrorist entities .
