Charity Commission

Introduction

  1.  This Estimate provides for both the resource and capital costs of the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The Commission is the statutory body that regulates charities. Its aim is to give the public confidence in the integrity of charity. The Commission seeks to ensure that charities operate within a framework which enables them to work effectively for the purposes for which they were set up. It collects information about all registered charities and keeps this on a computerised public register of charities. The Commission provides guidance and advice to charities to help them operate more efficiently and effectively, and monitors their activities through their accounts and annual reports. It also helps charities to modernise and change to meet new demands and remain up to date, and it seeks to identify and investigate any dishonesty or deliberate fraud that may endanger charitable assets.

  2.  The work of the Commission is governed by statute. The Commissioners are appointed by the Home Secretary, but their role is independent, although their decisions can be challenged in the High Court. Further information on expenditure can be found in tables 1 to 3 of the Charity Commission Departmental Report 2002.

  3.  Symbols are explained in the Introduction to this booklet.
