This leads me back to the fact that if the Charities Regulator is relying on what the charities and trustees are telling it and if, as we have seen here, there is a complete and utter failure of governance and compliance with normal financial regularity, this could absolutely happen again. The Charities Regulator is failing its mandate to instil public confidence and trust in the charity sector. This hugely undermines the charity sector and, unfortunately, Ms Delaney's testimony today contributes to that undermining of confidence.
