HERTFORDSHIRE RECORD SOCIETY

The aim of the charity is to make Hertfordshire's great written heritage acccessable to everyone. Every year the Society publishes a volume of transcribed and edited records, bound in hard covers with an illustrated dust jacket. The occasional publication of old county maps is also part of the Society's programme.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
