In completing the annual return service, your charity will be processing personal data and in some instances personal data which is special category personal data. This personal data may be processed in response to the question set in the service or it may be included in the accounts and trustees鈥� annual report.
Some personal data is required to be included by SORP but other personal data may be included because it is relevant to the charity鈥檚 financial performance or governance such as the names and other personal data about trustees, employees, donors, volunteers and beneficiaries.
The charity as the data controller is responsible for ensuring that its response in the annual return service and the accounts and trustees鈥� annual report meet its obligations under the General Data Protection Regulations and the Data Protection Act 2018 for all the personal data processed.
You will need to take particular care if you are including personal data about children, adults at risk, special category personal data or your charity鈥檚 trustees have a dispensation from including their name in the accounts.
