Social Accounting Training

I have just this past week undertaken training in social accounting and audit.  The training was delivered by the Social Enterprise Academy

It covered the three-step process for carrying out social accounting and auditing in organisations and was developed with the input of the Social Audit Network.

Having undertaken various socio-economic impacts in the past and of course my training in environmental management it was interesting to see the different tools advocated by the Social Audit Network.

SCIO Consultation

The Scottish Government has this week published its consultation  document with regard to the proposed regulation of the new Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation.  I have not had time to fully assess the paper yet but it is available from:

http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2009/11/16181221/0

The new SCIO form is clearly an important step and I would encourage you to have a read through the consultation document.
