CSR Implementing Agency Due Diligence Checklist
Prepare governance, track record, finance, safeguarding and programme evidence for corporate review.
Prepare governance, track record, finance, safeguarding and programme evidence for corporate review. Use the sections below to understand the practical decisions, records and compliance points before taking action.
Corporates must still assess credibility
CSR-1 registration does not replace the company Board’s responsibility to satisfy itself about the implementing agency and use of funds.
Build a governance file
Maintain constitution, registrations, governing-body records, conflicts, policies, statutory filings and meeting evidence.
Evidence the track record
Prepare project narratives, beneficiary data, locations, budgets, outcomes, photographs with consent and independent references for similar activities.
Make financial records audit ready
Share audited statements, ledgers, bank controls, grant utilisation, related-party disclosures and statutory compliance as appropriate.
Strengthen programme safeguards
Corporate review may cover child or vulnerable-person protection, POSH, procurement, anti-fraud, data protection, complaints and field safety.
Answer limitations honestly
Avoid inflated reach or fabricated impact. Disclose pending litigation, regulatory notices, related parties and capacity constraints accurately.
