Charity watchdog investigates City & Guilds’ sale of business arm

What happened: The Charity Commission has launched a statutory inquiry into City & Guilds following the sale of its qualification awards business to a private firm last year. This follows reports that senior executives received million-pound bonuses linked to the sale.

Why it matters:

  • The inquiry examines whether the sale and bonuses were handled appropriately within charity regulations.
  • It affects City & Guilds, its stakeholders, and the wider charity sector’s governance standards.

MNN Take: The Charity Commission’s investigation aims to ensure transparency and proper management in the sale of charitable assets, reflecting concerns about accountability in charity operations.
