What the accounts disclose

Governance: Independent examiner identified a matter of concern regarding material expenditure not in accordance with the charity's constitution due to employing a connected person without prior Charity Commission permission.

“I have identified a matter of concern in my report in relation to material expenditure which appears to not be in accordance with the charity's constitution. The accounts disclose information on related party transactions in Note 4. The note details that a connected person (the wife of one of the trustees) has been employed by the charity. The CIO's constitution does not give express powers to employ a trustee or connected person and therefore permission should be sought from the Charity Commission prior to such an engagement.” — page 5
