Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of the Charities Regulatory Authority

9:00 am

Mr. Eamon O'Halloran:

It is not a registered charity. With regard to process, where a body applies to us on top of its constitution, we look for a document that sets out its principles, tenets and faith to understand what it does in terms of worship, for example, where it holds worship. We look for a lot more information from an organisation that sets itself out for the advancement of religion than we do in some other areas where the charitable purpose might be quite clear. This is something we are aware of and we focus on the registration side where risks might occur.
