The transparency and compliance pressures charities face

Charities in Singapore must meet strict financial reporting and governance requirements. Without full traceability of spending and proper documentation, annual reporting and fundraising accountability become difficult.

Challenge 1:

Complex regulatory reporting requirements

Finance's Struggle:

Preparing Statement of Accounts and annual reporting that meet COC and NCSS expectations is time-consuming without accurate allocation and complete audit trails.

Challenge 2:

Limited visibility of how funds are spent

Finance's Struggle:

Difficult to track and justify spending by grant, programme, and fundraising activity, slowing down transparent reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Summit help non-profit organisations meet Singapore's charity governance requirements?
Summit supports charities in meeting the reporting and governance requirements set by the Commissioner of Charities (COC) and NCSS. Every transaction is tagged to the relevant fund, programme, or grant, with a complete audit trail from submission to payment — making annual Statement of Accounts preparation faster and more reliable.
Can Summit tag expenses to specific grants, programmes, or fundraising campaigns?
Yes. Expenses and invoices in Summit can be tagged to any funding source, programme, or campaign at the point of submission. This gives finance teams a clear, real-time view of how each fund is being utilised and makes it straightforward to produce donor reports, grant acquittals, and programme cost summaries.
How does Summit help charities demonstrate fundraising cost efficiency?
Summit separates and tracks fundraising expenses independently from programme and operational spend. Finance teams can generate reports showing the cost of each fundraising campaign against the income it generated — providing transparent, verifiable evidence of fundraising efficiency that strengthens donor confidence and satisfies governance reviews.
Does Summit provide audit-ready documentation for charity compliance reviews?
Yes. Every transaction processed through Summit carries a complete record of who submitted it, who approved it, when, and why — including the original receipt or invoice. This documentation is stored digitally and can be retrieved on demand for internal reviews, external audits, or regulatory inspections, without manual preparation. 
How does Summit help non-profits reduce errors in financial reporting?
Summit's AI automatically detects duplicate claims and flags inconsistencies before they reach an approver. Automated reconciliation with your accounting software ensures data flows accurately to the ledger. This significantly reduces the manual errors that typically accumulate when spreadsheets and email chains are used for expense tracking. 
Can volunteers or part-time staff easily submit expense claims through Summit?
Yes. Summit's mobile app requires minimal technical knowledge. Staff and volunteers can snap a receipt photo and submit a claim in under 60 seconds. Summit AI auto-populates the details, so there is no need for manual data entry. Approval is handled automatically based on the rules you configure. 
How does Summit support consolidation of spend across multiple programmes or fundraising initiatives?
Summit's dashboard consolidates all transactions across programmes, campaigns, and cost centres in one view. Finance teams can filter by fund, period, or category and generate structured reports for board meetings, donor updates, and annual reporting.
