The Regulator for Charities in England and Wales

Charities Back on Track

The Commission publishes annual reports on the themes and wider issues arising from its compliance work. This is our regulatory work which is concerned with ensuring that charities comply with their legal obligations, and with undertaking investigations into serious abuse or mismanagement in charities.

Using case studies, we aim to improve trustees' awareness of the common problems that can arise in charities, and provide guidance on how to avoid similar situations from happening in their charities.

We hope the reports will help to build an understanding of the Commission’s compliance work by demonstrating the sort of regulatory action we can take and the impact it has in protecting charities from abuse and harm. They also provide basic statistical information on our casework and performance, and outline some relevant policy and other developments and our key priorities for the future.
