This Code of Conduct defines standards of governance,
management, financial control and reporting with which non-government development
organisations (NGDOs) should comply. In addition, it identifies mechanisms
to ensure accountability in NGDO use of public funds.
The Code aims to maintain and enhance standards
throughout the NGDO community, ensuring public confidence in the integrity
of individuals and Organisations comprising the NGDO community, and the
quality and effectiveness of NGDO programs.
