Special focus
Understanding the Charity Commission
In this series of short videos, James Sinclair Taylor and Rachel McCastman discuss the way in which the Charity Commission regulates charities in England and Wales. They explore the Commission’s priorities and concerns, what the regulator expects of charities, and what charities can expect from the regulator. These videos are particularly useful for trustees and senior managers to get a more in-depth understanding of how to meet the Commission’s expectations.
