皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app has charitable aims which include the promotion of the history and culture of the Middle East.

皇冠体育app Commission has been engaging with its trustees since September after media reports alleged that donations, intended for the Prince鈥檚 Foundation, went instead to the Mahfouz Foundation. Some of these funds were then subsequently transferred elsewhere.

皇冠体育app regulator has also identified concerns around the trustees鈥� governance and financial control of the charity. 皇冠体育app Commission escalated its case to a statutory inquiry on 2nd November.

This inquiry will examine:

• whether certain donations received by the Mahfouz Foundation were intended for the charity, have been used in accordance with the donors鈥� intentions and if they should be returned to the donor or otherwise applied for charitable purposes

• whether the trustees have carried out their legal duties and responsibilities as trustees in line with charity law

皇冠体育app Commission may extend the scope of the inquiry if additional issues emerge.

It is the Commission鈥檚 policy, after it has concluded an inquiry, to publish a report detailing what issues the inquiry looked at, what actions were undertaken as part of the inquiry and what the outcomes were. Reports of previous inquiries are available on GOV.UK.
