**The Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales (ICAEW) and the Charities
Aid Foundation (CAF) have today launched the Charities’ Online Accounts Awards 2009.**

The awards, which were set up to recognise the charities with the most accessible
and transparent online accounts, aim to encourage all charities to invest more time
in presenting their financial information innovatively.

Both [ICAEW](http://www.icaew.com/charity) and CAF referred to the current credit
crunch financial crisis when they argued that clear financial reports were needed
more than ever.

Graham Ward CBE, chairman of the judging panel and Price Waterhouse Coopers partner
said:

“High quality financial reporting is as much of an imperative for the charitable
sector as it is for the commercial world – no more so than in today’s challenging
financial environment. At this time, being recognised for high quality financial
information will provide the winners with a powerful message when seeking funding.”

The closing date for [entries to the Charities Online Accounts Awards 2009](http://www.cafonline.org/onlineaccountsawards)
is 28 November 2008.
