Religious governace, risk and Compliance

 Many religious institutions and faith-based NGOs face growing challenges:

• Constitutions and governance frameworks are outdated or unclear.
   
• Compliance with POPIA, SARS, labour law, and the NPO Act is often overlooked due to limited resources.
   
• Financial controls and donation management may lack transparency, risking reputational damage.
   
• Leaders carry personal liability if governance and compliance duties are neglected.
   
• Donors, funders, and communities increasingly demand accountability and transparency.
   

Without robust GRC systems, institutions risk reputational harm, legal penalties, and weakened credibility with the very people they are called to serve.
