Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides a general introduction to charities, the work of trustees and the regulatory authorities. It looks at the authorities' powers of investigation and the investigation process, providing practical guidance on how to deal with Charity Commission investigations, FICO audits and enquiries, employer compliance reviews and VAT audits and investigations. A series of checklists and associated commentary provide an invaluable aid to help a charity reduce the costs and time involved in an investigation and even to avoid an investigation altogether. This second edition features many of the actual Charity Commission investigations.
