- Current annual return overdueThe newest annual return we hold is 27 months old — a more recent return may already be on the Charities Services register
Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
