What happened: City & Guilds' CEO Kirstie Donnelly and CFO Abid Ismail have been put on leave following a scandal involving millions in bonuses. The vocational training body is under investigation by the Charity Commission.
Why it matters:
- Raises concerns about financial governance in a major UK vocational training provider.
- Impacts staff, learners, and stakeholders relying on City & Guilds qualifications.
MNN Take: The leave comes as the new owner, PeopleCert, investigates the bonus payments and related events to ensure transparency and accountability.
