Charity law

Proposals for minor amendments to the Charities & Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006

This Scottish Government consultation looks at the details of the accounting regulations that flowed from the 2005 Act and sets out proposals for amendments to the Act and the regulations drawing on experience of how they have worked in practice. These are minor changes intended either to give the regulator powers to assist charities in certain situations not foreseen in the Act, or to increase the transparency of the regulatory framework.
