Is there any independent scrutiny of fundraising consultants?
Yes. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) undertakes annual vetting of consultants and awards Approved Consultant status to those who pass the test. Most fundraising consultants are also Members of the Institute of Fundraising and subscribe to its Code of Conduct. The more established consultancies are also members of the AFC (Association of Fundraising Consultants), which takes up references on application and at two yearly intervals from applicants’ clients before membership is granted.
