Charity Commission inquiry
The Charity Commission opened a statutory inquiry into the Iraqi Welfare Association due to high-risk fund handling, including the use of Hawala transfers and personal bank accounts, alongside failures to file accounts and adhere to governing documents. The inquiry is currently investigating trustee conduct, potential conflicts of interest, and whether funds were expended solely for charitable purposes.
“The regulator also found the charity’s director was using his personal bank account to make payments on behalf of the charity.”
“Its engagement continued due to the charity’s failure to submit accounts for four consecutive years (FYE 2019, 2022, 2021 and 2022).”
Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
