Privacy. TDT'S privacy policy is consistent with the General Data Protection Regulation {GDPRI. Personal data relating to donors is stored securely, with limited access on a "need to know, basis. Donors and other parties who r8ceive regular infomialion from TDT have an "opl-out. option, and there is a right of objection to Ihe way in personal data is pro$$0a and used. Accounting. TDT follows the accounting guidelines set out by the Charity Commission for a charity of its size. Its accounts are based on a cash flow rather than an accruals basts, and because its turnover is less than £1.Om, they are independently examined rather than audited. euii* r6
Expenditures are directly related to income. TDT does not spend any money it does not already have. Because it has no staff, premises or overheads, and funds an adjustsble series of small short-term projects it holds a relatively low level of reserves. Fund-raising. TDT does not use professional fund-raisers. Its volunteers raise money from individuals, induding but not limited to BTS members, and small Trusts with whom it engages by providing regular feedback about its work. Local represenLion. The work of TDT'S local representatives in Tanzania is governed by a series of rules intended to avoid conflicts of interest with their other jobs. They are expeGted to make it Glear to local Gommunities that TDT will only support projects that bgn8fit the whole community irrespective of faith, race of gender,. the only exception to this Is tor projects targeted speciThcally on Improving the lot of women. Local representatives are not paid for their work but are allowed to claim travelling expenses tofftom projects. There are spectfic rules about bribery, which is not permitted. Prlncipal rlsks The main risks facing the charity 8re Tanzanian Inflation and foreign exchange rate variatlons, both of wh4th can sUbstantiaY Increase the cnsts of a praiect kJélJNeen sutjniission of the original graTht application and completion of constnjction work. TDT recognises this, and from time-to-time makes 'Iop-up" grants to offset thwncrease in costs. When this occurs, it results in TDT funding fewer projects. However, the pipeline of small projects that can be tumed on or off at short notice means that it does not pose an existential risk to TDT itself. Another signifi(2nt risk is the ability of local beneficiaries in TanLgnia to implement thetr projects to a salisfaGtory standard, on time and in budget. TDT mitigates this risk by using Project office to evaluate all of its projects before the release of any money, and by using local representstives to monitor their progress and notify the Project Officers of any apparent problems as soon as they occur. Financial revlew TDT'S income and expenditure have been gradually increasing over time, although like many small charities, they fluctuate from year-to-year as a result of legacies and olher large. onewDff donations.
