I am wondering about the benefit to the public. I presume it is the handful of scholarships each year, but it would be well worth the school's while not to pay any tax and give out a handful of scholarships.

My next question is on bogus charities, which can be prevalent at this time of the year in the lead-up to Christmas. What oversight does the regulator have in this regard? People may be collecting for something that is not registered as a charity. How does the regulator manage this?
