Politicians And Their Delinquent Non-Profits

SUBSCRIBER CONTENT

By law, non-profit organizations in Jamaica are required to file annual returns at the Companies Office listing the address of the registered office and details of the current directors.

By law, they’re also required to file audited financials, containing the last balance sheet and a profit and loss account statement.

However, some of these non-profits aren’t fulfilling these requirements.

And a number of those delinquent on their filings are linked to elected members of parliament and senators - the persons who make the laws! 

Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett is one such politician as the elected member of parliament for St. James East Central.

Please note that, other than delinquencies in their filings, 18º North hasn’t found any adverse traces nor are we making any insinuation regarding any organization. This exercise is mainly to highlight issues related to compliance.

Findings are as of July 15, 2022 from the database sent to 18º North by the Companies Office on June 13, 2022.
