The journey so far

Initial ideas were set out in the Consultation Paper (Parts 1 and 2) issued in January 2021, together with explanatory videos. Part 1 Chapter 1 set out  broad characteristics approach to describin NPOs. Part 2 Issue 2 set out specific alternative approaches on defining the reporting entity and control. The issues and alternatives were presented in a webinar in Aug 2021, before the consultation response period closed in Oct 21. The project’s feedback on the responses to Part 1 were shared in a webinar in Feb 22. During 2022, the Technical and Practitioner Advisory Groups (TAG and PAG) have reflected on the responses to Part 2 and given feedback on the development of draft guidance for inclusion in INPAG ED1, together with input from two Focus Groups on this topic.
