The Charity Commission has launched an investigation into the finances of a strictly Orthodox charity.
Chessed L’Yisroel Ltd, which operates in Manchester and Salford, aims to promote religious activities in accordance with the Orthodox faith and alleviate poverty.
The independent regulator of charities in England and Wales opened its inquiry last month after uncovering a “significant discrepancy” in the charity’s accounts.
The inquiry, announced this week, will examine the reliability and accuracy of the charity’s financial reporting, while assessing whether funds have been lost, misappropriated or misapplied.
