The Charities Regulatory Authority (the ‘Charities Regulator’) was established in October 2014 pursuant to the Charities Act 2009. The Authority is the State organisation responsible for registering and regulating all of Ireland’s charities, with the mandate to promote good governance practice.

While the Charities Regulator operates under the aegis of my Department, it is important to note that it is fully independent in the performance of its statutory functions, including the maintenance of the Register of Charities.

The Charities Regulator did not employ any forensic accountants in 2024 and to date in 2025.
