As stated in paragraphs 4.14 to 4.19 of the Lump Sum Grant Manual (October 2016), NGOs are required to make their Annual Financial Reports (AFRs) Note1 and Review Reports on Remuneration Packages for Staff in the Top Three Tiers (RRs) (if applicable Note2) available to the public to enhance transparency and public accountability on use of public funds.  To facilitate the public’s access to these reports, the relevant hyperlinks or their copies are now available as listed in the table below -

Note 1: The AFR submitted by an NGO to the Social Welfare Department (SWD) is, on cash accounting basis, prepared in respect of all Funding and Service Agreement (FSA) activities (including support services to FSA activities) funded by SWD under the Lump Sum Grant Subvention System (please see Chapter 3 and Annex 5 of the Lump Sum Grant Manual for details). The AFR is not the audited financial statements of the NGO concerned as a whole.

Note 2: An NGO is exempted from submitting RR if it is receiving recurrent subventions of less than $10 million a year from SWD or such amount accounts for no more than 50% of its total operating income pertaining to services/programmes within the welfare purview.
