摘要
The Charities Act in Singapore provides a systematic approach to public accountability by promoting good governance of non-profit organizations. This paper focuses on the rise of philanthropy and the development of a regulatory framework to ensure public accountability of charities in Singapore. There is a need for greater transparency, communication, information, and support from the various systems, including the revenue and government authorities, as well as the stakeholders.
