Why does the Regulator not get a copy of the audited report? The Comptroller and Auditor General does an audit of a Department or an organisation that comes under his remit. He does the audit, reports and there is an audited opinion. If an issue arises, it is there for everybody to see. In this situation, if one has a charity that has to carry out an audit - which they have to do - there may be a report or there has to be a report as a consequence of that, and it may well flag a problem. If the Charities Regulator, however, does not see that audit report how does it know there is a problem?
