SPOTLIGHT ON CORRUPTION LTD

Spotlight on Corruption undertakes monitoring of court cases involving anti-corruption laws; carries out and publishes research and analysis on enforcement of anti-corruption laws in the UK; in exceptional circumstances and as a last resort, pursues strategic litigation to ensure the sound administration of the law; and collects and investigates evidence on grand corruption.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
