Charity Commission inquiry

The inquiry was opened after HMRC identified 105 charities cashing £22 million in cheques with a specific company. The Commission has extended the inquiry to include 12 additional charities and issued orders to stop cheque issuance, but has not reached any conclusions regarding wrongdoing.
The report states the inquiry was opened following an HMRC visit that identified 105 charities cashing cheques with a specific company.
“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's objective is to establish facts regarding fund transfers and trustee oversight.
“Using powers available to the Commission during an inquiry, the regulator will determine the facts around how these charities have transferred funds.”
The inquiry specifically investigates whether trustees exercised proper oversight and acted in the charity's best interests.
“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.”
Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
