Inquiry reports: Charity Commission
Reports of Charity Commission inquiries carried out under section 46 of the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity Commission announces the opening of a statutory inquiry into a charity, and reports on its outcome unless it would:
- be detrimental to a particular individual or group of individuals, for example a risk to someone’s personal safety
- contravene or prejudice requirements for confidentiality or commercial sensitivity, or risk National Security
- cause severe prejudice to the charity and/or its beneficiaries
- contravene the Commission’s duty to use its resources in the most efficient, effective and economic way
- make regulation less effective and damage public confidence in charities
- mean that public interest in not publishing outweighs the public interest in publishing
We may delay the publication of an inquiry report to:
- avoid prejudicing the work of a law enforcement agency or other regulator
- give trustees opportunity to complete certain actions within a specified timeframe
After 2 years inquiry reports are withdrawn. You can view archived inquiry reports on the National Archives website.
