The Parliamentary Committee that met a few days ago should be demanding all historic accounting data from this rancid business as a MINIMUM requirement, and Government accounting bods subjecting it to full forensic audit.

Collapsed charity Kids Company received at least £46m of public money despite repeated concerns about how it was run, the National Audit Office has found.
The NAO reported that the charity for vulnerable children repeatedly received grants after claiming it faced closure. The charity received twice the funding of any other charity in 2011, and officials relied on its own assessments to check performance, the report said. Former bosses at the charity deny it was financially mismanaged. Ex-Children's Minister Tim Loughton, a Conservative, said he warned against giving a "very sizeable" grant to Kids Company in 2012, but said the charity appeared able to "mesmerise" people into giving it "special treatment". The charity - which was founded by Camila Batmanghelidjh and provided support to deprived and vulnerable children in London, Liverpool and Bristol - closed in August. The NAO found it received public funding for at least 15 years, with at least £42m provided in government grants, including £28m from the Department for Education (DfE) and its predecessors. It also received about £2m from councils and £2m from the National Lottery. Key findings In 2008, Kids Company received 20% of the Department for Education's grant programme From 2011-2013 it received twice as much in grants than national children's charity Barnardo's Kids Company had not been required to compete for its annual grant since 2013 Until 2013, the government relied "heavily" on the charity's own self-assessments to monitor its performance Inland Revenue wrote off the charity's tax debts of £590,000 in 2003 |

Come on guys, be fair.
It's only tax payers money that would otherwise be wasted on other things ... poor, sick etc. And they wonder why we have a booming black economy - I don't - why pay tax when this happens, I say. £46 million WOW!!! |

The apparent ease with which she achieved charitable status and milked the government of taxpayers money makes me wonder how many more are at it.
|
|
By:
will she be facing charges ?
|
|
By:
Apparently usual local stats show no change in drug taking, crime, school attendance etc etc etc - so 45 mil wasted but then if you saw what area you would understand why. So what did that money actually do then.?

By:
she spent it on food and tents

By:
well she wears a tent so therefore the taxpayer has got value for money !

I'd say a lot of the charity's are on the fiddle. Here in ireland we have had our fair share of corrupt charity's. The problem with charity's it is so open to corruption. They are less likely to be taken to task. One charity here in ireland the ceo was on 200k a year. Scandalous.

Someone (can't remember who )has requested a freedom of information re the BBC children in need charity.If any money has been funnelled from this to Kids Company expect Yentob to fall on his sword.

Program on about the london marathon a while back. Some of the stuff was shocking. Concern's ceo i think is on a hugh salary. Alot of charity's espically the one's where they have people canvassing on the street are taken up on admin fees. Only charity's i give to are one's where you know where the money ends up. The bigger the charity the bigger the admin and gravy boat imo.

Anyone else watching this TV programme about her?
Delusional, law-breaking, dangerous 'cult of personality' borderline psychopath. I thought The Establishment had 'learned lessons' after it was sucked in by Jimmy Saville and his flamboyant persona |

The trustees, led by Yentob, have overseen this charade and must never be allowed to be involved with a charity again. Chauffeur driven, mansion dwelling Camilla has rewritten the stupidity manual whilst building an incredibly lavish lifestyle. As for her swimming pool, well she aint gonna fit in a bath.
