There are 8,000 charities. One of Mr. Hopkins's short-term objectives is to commence receipt of annual reports and accounts from registered charities and to continue broad engagement with stakeholders in respect of accounting and reporting guidelines. Does he think this is enough and that he will have the resources to deal effectively with it? Again, because of our experiences with the banking crisis and the lack of proper auditing systems, there is an element of doubt among many members of the public. Does Mr. Hopkins think the CRA will be able to deal effectively with accounts and annual reports effectively and bring back trust?
