ACNC 2023 Annual Information Statement (AIS) Data

_This dataset is updated weekly. Please ensure that you use the most up-to-date version._\r\n\r\n##Background\r\nThe Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is Australia’s national regulator of charities.\r\nSince 3 December 2012, charities wanting to access Commonwealth charity tax concessions (and other benefits) need to register with the ACNC. Although many charities choose to register, registration with the ACNC is voluntary.\r\n\r\nEach year, registered charities are required to lodge an Annual Information Statement (AIS) with the ACNC. Charities are required to submit their AIS within six months of the end of their reporting period.\r\n\r\nThe AIS collects information about a charity’s programs, HR and financial information.\r\n\r\n##AIS data\r\nThis dataset can be used to find 2023 AIS information lodged by multiple charities.\r\n\r\nIt can also be used to filter and sort by different variables across all AIS information. AIS Information for individual charities can be viewed via the [ACNC Charity Register](https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/).\r\n\r\nOur explanatory notes (see below) detail the information collected in the AIS and the data outputs you can expect.\r\n\r\nThe ACNC has also published a report analysing 2023 AIS data. This report - the 11th edition of the Charities Report - can be found on our website.\r\n\r\n##Interpreting AIS data\r\nWhen comparing charities’ financial information it is important to consider each charity's unique situation. This is particularly true for small charities, which are not compelled to provide financial reports – reports that often contain more details about their financial position and activities – as part of their AIS. For more information on interpreting financial information, please refer to the [ACNC website](https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/about-acnc-charity-register/information-charity-register).\r\n\r\n##Withheld information\r\nRegistered charities can apply to the ACNC to have some or all of the information they provide withheld from the ACNC Register. However, there are only limited circumstances when the ACNC can agree to withhold information. If a charity has applied to have their data withheld, the AIS data relating to that charity has been excluded from this dataset.\r\n\r\nNOTE: It is possible that some information in this dataset might be subject to a future request from a charity to have their information withheld. If this occurs, this information will still appear in the dataset until the next update. Please consider this risk when using this dataset.\r\n\r\n##More ACNC data\r\nThe ACNC also publishes other datasets on [data.gov.au](https://data.gov.au/organisations/org-dga-4d907503-b2aa-4c38-ac13-1273e791cb08) as part of our commitment to open data and transparent regulation.

##背景
澳大利亚慈善与非营利委员会（Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission，简称ACNC）是澳大利亚全国性慈善机构监管机构。
自2012年12月3日起，凡希望享受联邦政府慈善税收优惠（及其他福利）的慈善机构，均需向ACNC进行注册。尽管多数慈善机构会选择注册，但ACNC的注册流程仍属自愿性质。
每年，已注册的慈善机构均需向ACNC提交年度信息报表（Annual Information Statement，简称AIS）。慈善机构需在其报告周期结束后的六个月内完成AIS的提交。
AIS会收集慈善机构的项目开展、人力资源及财务相关信息。

##AIS数据
本数据集可用于查询多家慈善机构提交的2023年度AIS信息。
同时，该数据集支持基于全量AIS信息中的各类变量进行筛选与排序。单家慈善机构的AIS信息可通过[ACNC慈善机构登记平台](https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/)查询。
下文的说明文档将详细介绍AIS所收集的信息内容，以及可获取的数据输出形式。
ACNC还发布了一份针对2023年度AIS数据的分析报告，即《慈善报告》第11版，该报告可在我方官方网站获取。

##AIS数据解读
在对比不同慈善机构的财务信息时，需充分考虑每家机构的独特运营情况，这一点对于小型慈善机构尤为重要。小型慈善机构无需在AIS中提交财务报告——而这类报告通常会包含其财务状况与运营活动的更多细节。如需了解更多财务信息解读相关内容，请参阅[ACNC官方网站](https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity/about-acnc-charity-register/information-charity-register)。

##受限披露信息
已注册的慈善机构可向ACNC申请，将其提交的部分或全部信息从ACNC登记平台中隐藏。但ACNC仅在有限情形下会同意隐藏信息申请。若某家慈善机构已提交信息隐藏申请，则与之相关的AIS数据已被排除在本数据集之外。
注意：本数据集部分信息可能会在未来收到慈善机构的信息隐藏申请。若出现此类情况，相关信息仍会保留在数据集中直至下一次更新。使用本数据集时，请充分考虑该潜在风险。
