皇冠体育app Commission first contacted 皇冠体育app Macbeth Memorial Trust in October 2020 after the charity failed to submit accounting information for financial years ending in 2018 and 2019.

A number of reminders were sent to trustees before a final reminder was sent at the end of聽October 2020. Trustees were sent a warning of further action in December 2021 after accounts continued to be overdue.

As the charity failed to file accounts, despite regular timely reminders and engagement from the regulator, the Commission issued an Official Warning in May 2022. 皇冠体育app charity continued in its failure to provide accounting information聽after receiving the Official Warning.
