Draft Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Bill

4. Conclusion

We firmly believe that this Bill creates the modern framework for charity regulation which charities, and the Scottish public, deserve. It will create a clear, coherent regulatory structure which charities and their stewards can understand, and in which members of the public can place their trust.

It will provide charities with the tools they need to continue to flourish as independent not-for-profit organisations working for the public good in our communities.

It will provide the public with wide access to information about charities, what they do, and how they raise and spend their money.

It will be proportionate, ensuring that charities are regulated effectively according to the level of risk to public confidence, and according to their size and capacity to respond.

We look forward to hearing from you whether we have got it right.
