Charity Commission inquiry
“Following an unannounced visit by HMRC to a company in Hackney, 105 charities were found to have cashed cheques with it to a value of £22 million between December 2021 and March 2023.”
“The regulator will determine the facts around how these charities have transferred funds. It will also investigate how trustees had oversight of what happened to funds exchanged for the cheques, and if this cash has been used properly to support what the charities were set up to do.”
“The regulator has issued an immediate order to temporarily stop any of the charities under inquiry from issuing cheques without its prior consent.”
