It is very important that the authority has the proper resources so that it will have teeth to carry out this important work. An issue of concern is the number of un-incorporated charities. Others have been established as companies and would be subject to the rules as set down by the Director of Corporate Enforcement but other charities have been established as trusts. Can Mr. Woods comment on the obstacles he foresees when consolidating the many forms of charities under the authority's regulations because there are so many of them with different names or labels?
