Charity Commission outlines new risk framework

A new approach to regulation has been published today by The Charity Commission, the regulator for charities in England and Wales. Our Regulatory Approach to Protecting the Public's Interest in Charity: How We Assess and Manage Risks was developed following the Commission's Strategic Review consultation and subsequent restructuring in light of its funding being reduced by a third in real terms over the Spending Review period.

It explains to trustees, charity advisors and the wider public the Commission's approach to regulation and how it assesses risks affecting charities, the wider charity sector, and public confidence.
