Governance

Who is accountable

LIFT is a family-founded organisation, and we say so openly. Many respected foundations began this way. To make sure decisions serve the mission and not the family, we add independent advisers, publish our governance and commit to an annual independent audit.

Financial controls

The Treasurer signs off every published figure. Accounts are prepared by an appointed accountant and filed with the CAC annually.

Independent audit

We commit to an annual independent audit, published on our Accountability page.

Separate funds

Missionary support is funded separately by church partners, so development gifts go only to development programmes.
