Risk and Proportionality Framework for the Commission’s compliance work – Introduction

We have finalised our risk and proportionality framework for our Compliance and Support function. This concerns our regulatory work with charities where their assets, services, beneficiaries and reputation are at serious risk of abuse or damage; and includes undertaking formal statutory inquiries.

The risk and proportionality framework now formally sets out our enhanced approach to risk-based regulation in our compliance work and publicly shares what we consider to be the areas of greatest risk for charities.

We have taken into account the responses we received during the informal public consultation on our draft framework late in 2007. We have also produced a summary of public responses to the informal consultation on the draft framework with commentary from the Commission.

We are currently developing a risk and proportionality framework which will apply to other areas of the Commission’s work with charities, and we will seek the views of the sector and the public on this later in the year.
