Charity Commission
The Charity Commission was established by UK law to regulate and register charities in England and Wales. Its goal is to provide regulation of charities in order to increase their efficiency and effectiveness as well as public confidence and trust in their work. Charities registered with the commission with yearly incomes over 10,000 pounds must submit reports annually on their finances and activities. They are available to the public and used by the Commission to identify areas where charities can improve. The Commission states it has strong legal powers to deal with charities who participate in deliberate fraud or dishonesty and also provides an outlet for complaints against charities registered with the Commission. The Commission provides relevant information for registered charities about the requirements they must meet, how to submit annual reports, and general information about starting a charity or raising funds. Headquartered in Liverpool, the UK Charity Commission has a budget of approximately 30 million pounds.
