The Charity Commission launched a statutory class inquiry after HMRC found 105 charities had cashed £22 million in cheques exchanged for cash. The regulator issued orders to temporarily restrict the issuing of cheques by the ten prioritized charities while it investigates the facts and trustee oversight.
The report describes the scope of the inquiry rather than a concluded finding on the best interests test.
“The Commission will seek to establish how trustees determined that these financial transactions were in their charity’s best interests.”
The report cites guidance on controls but does not state a finding that specific charities failed these controls, only that pre-signed cheques should be prohibited.
“It makes clear that pre-signed blank cheques should be prohibited under charities’ financial control policies.”
Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
