Governance

Compliance

To ensure the highest standard of governance, Order of Malta Ireland complies with The Republic of Ireland Charities Act 2009 and Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2013.

We are also committed to implementing the Code for Corporate Governance for the Voluntary and Community Sector.

Every year, our finances are independently audited and published on our website.

We believe that setting and maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance is a key element in demonstrating accountability to our members, volunteers, donors, funders and the general public.

As a registered Irish charity, we are listed on the Charities Regulatory Authority’s Register of Charities (Charity Reg. No. 20005924) in the Republic of Ireland and with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (Charity Reg. No. 101608).
