While I sometimes worry that times being hard, we might find improvements in charity
registers harder to come by, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR)
has just announced planned improvements to its register. There is still no sign 
of basic information like the name of the correspondent, the name of the business(
where a charity must be contacted via a business firm), and there is certainly no
suggestion that they will list the names of trustees, nor make accounts or any other
documents available, we might get to see graphically displayed financial highlights
for registered charities. Hmm … anyway, here goes:

Glasgow-based business technology company Amor Group is to work with OSCR during
the remainder of the year to deliver the technical work required to implement “Integrated
Reporting”. OSCR reports that Integrated Reporting will provide more detailed financial
information about charities to the public. The enhanced Scottish Charity Register
should show more information, including graphically displayed financial highlights
for all charities.

Regular updates will be announced at www.oscr.org.uk and through OSCR’s e-newsletter,
OSCR Reporter.

If there are any other improvements that you would like them to make to the register,
do let them know.
