Charity Commission inquiry
The inquiry was opened following an HMRC visit that revealed 105 charities had cashed cheques worth £22 million with a specific company. The regulator has extended the inquiry to include 12 additional charities and issued orders to stop them from issuing cheques without consent while facts are established.
“105 charities were found to have cashed cheques with it to a value of £22 million between December 2021 and March 2023.”
“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 Commission will seek to establish how trustees determined that these financial transactions were in their charity’s best interests.”
Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
