This is the audio of a session which I facilitated at the Charity Law, Accounting and Regulation conference held online on 4 November 2020. In it Scott Moran, Craig Fisher and I discuss the practical aspects of when it is time for an organisation to wind up - with a particular focus on charities (but the principles will apply to other types of organisation as well). We also consider the other options such as collaborating with others before deciding to wind up and what the barriers are to doing so. We ask some very hard questions but also provide some insights into the process and what is involved.
Thanks to all those on the organising committee who pivoted to hold this online (we did it!) and all the sponsors.
The paper mentioned on "Charting the Future" is here: https://www.parryfield.com/charting-the-future/
The description of this session: "In these challenging times, some organisations will need to consider all their options – including merging, greater collaboration or even winding up. In this session we will talk about these and other options and think about some of the practical considerations that will be very important to think through well in advance."
