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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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After 2 years inquiry reports are withdrawn.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 .
