Pressure on non-profit organisations is a mixture of being exposed over a lack of funding, and legislation making it too hard for the sector.

It comes as a new report from Grant Thornton shows there are major gaps that would prevent NPOs meeting their purposes.

Grant Thornton partner Barry Baker told Mike Hosking there's a lot more obligations on them than day to day businesses.

He says a lot of them haven't had funding to build in resilience, so they don't have the resources to do what needs to be done.
