OSCR names defaulting charities

The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has begun to publish details of charities that have failed to provide it with Annual Returns and accounts.

The Regulator has made the move in order to encourage compliance with the legislation.

From 29th October, a monthly list will be published on OSCR’s website, detailing those charities that have failed to submit their most recent accounts and an Annual Return form within six months of the stated 10-month deadline. The list can be searched by local authority area, charity name, or charity number.

The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, Quadrant House, 9 Riverside Drive, Dundee DD1 4NY. Telephone: 01382 220 446.
