Charity Commission inquiry

The Charity Commission opened a statutory class inquiry after evidence emerged that 105 charities had issued cheques exchanged for cash totaling £22 million. The regulator has extended the inquiry to include 10 additional charities and issued orders to temporarily stop them from issuing cheques without consent.
The report states the inquiry was opened due to evidence of cheque cashing, but does not provide specific findings of misconduct for these 10 charities yet. It lists the scope of the investigation. I will extract quotes defining the scope and the trigger for the inquiry.
