Charity Commission Statutory Inquiries - Navigating the Minefield - Webinar

Introduction

With greater media and public scrutiny of charities and their ‘failures’, the Charity Commission is taking a closer interest in the inner workings of charities.

Using their statutory powers to investigate deeply into a charity, the Inquiry can be both time consuming and costly. Ultimately it can be damaging to the charity’s work and reputation.

Aimed at charity advisors, this short webinar will assist you in navigating an Inquiry.

It is also ideal for charity trustees and managers who wish to better understand the areas of greatest risk and the penalties that the Commission can impose on them and the charity.
