Details

This document outlines how the Charity Commission operates as a risk-led regulator, and in particular:

• how we identify and assess risks
• how we respond to risks
• how we review and adapt our approach

While this document is written for the benefit of the public, we also expect charity trustees and their professional advisers; auditors and independent examiners; and charity employees and volunteers to find it particularly helpful.
