Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of the Charities Regulatory Authority

9:00 am

Ms Helen Martin:

It would be. That is why we are focused on the next stage of developing the compliance and enforcement team, as well as introducing proactive monitoring. We need certain tools to do that. We need the information to be made available to us. That is why we require the amendments to the Act and the accounting-reporting regulations. To be able to do that proactive monitoring piece would be a massive move for us. Hopefully, we would see flags and particular points in accounts where we would know there is something not right. It would raise a flag and then we could hone in on it ourselves without anyone having to raise a concern with us. We would be able to identify those charities ourselves.
