Julie Mutton discusses key themes from the
Commission's assessment of compliance cases.
The Charity Commission has published the results of its
compliance work during 2009/10 in Charities Back on Track.
As well as explaining the different levels of intervention applied
by the Commission and the numbers of such cases dealt with in the
year, the report also highlights the themes identified as those
that typically give rise to difficulties. Case studies are
explained along with analysis of issues for other charities to
consider.
The Commission's compliance division carries out its
statutory function to identify and investigate apparent misconduct
or mismanagement in the administration of charities. Investigations
also cover situations where assets, beneficiaries or reputations
are at serious risk.
