Summary
Mr C complained that the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) failed to identify and investigate apparent misconduct in line with their Inquiry Policy, and failed to consistently explain their interpretation of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) in relation to accounting and financial reporting.
We found that OSCR had followed their Inquiry Policy in assessing and investigating the apparent misconduct Mr C reported. In addition, they had clearly explained their role, responsibilities and obligations to Mr C. We also found that, while Mr C did not agree with OSCR's interpretation of SORP, OSCR's position was reasonable and they had clearly explained it. We did not uphold Mr C's complaints.
