Guidelines for Sending Money from Australia to Overseas

When Entities in Australia send money overseas, especially for charitable or missionary purposes, they must comply with a number of legal, financial, and ethical guidelines to ensure accountability, transparency, and alignment with Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) rules.

1. Understand Legal Obligations

If the church or Entity is a registered charity, it must follow ACNC guidelines on overseas activities.
Ensure funds are used for charitable purposes to maintain tax-deductibility if applicable.
Comply with AUSTRAC regulations to prevent funds being misused or diverted.
Follow Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade rules if aid is being delivered in politically sensitive or sanctioned countries.

2. Due Diligence on Overseas Beneficiaries

Verify legitimacy of the recipient organization or individual.
Ensure recipient organization or individual has sufficient Vulnerable practises and training in place.
Ensure shared mission and values (religious, ethical, humanitarian).
Must align with the stated charitable or religious purpose of the Sponsoring Entity.

3. Document Everything

Each transfer must be documented, or a written Donnor Agreement needs to be submitted also.
Receipts and financial records of how the money is used.
Periodic reports or audits from the receiving party and regular communication with overseas partners.
Track outcomes of projects funded and or have site visits if feasible.

4. Ensure the Funds Are Not Used for Prohibited Purposes

Funds must not be used to support
- Terrorist activities
- Political parties or campaigns
- Human trafficking
- Personal or commercial gain
