The Charity Commission, the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales, has opened a statutory inquiry into Jewish Seminary for Girls registered charity number 526143<\/a>. The inquiry was opened on 13 May 2016.<\/p>\n

The charity has objects to promote the Jewish faith amongst Jewish girls and women between the ages of 15 and 25 by providing religious education for such persons in accordance with traditional Judaism, and to provide instruction to enable students to enter a trade or profession.<\/p>\n

The charity was previously part of the commission\u2019s \u2018Double Defaulter\u2019 class inquiry into charities in default of their statutory obligations to meet reporting requirements as it failed to submit annual accounts for the financial years ending 31 July 2013 and 31 July 2014 by the due dates. On 25 November 2015 the charity submitted information to that inquiry and the commission published a report of findings<\/a> on 3 March 2016 and the charity ceased to be part of the inquiry.<\/p>\n

The commission\u2019s subsequent scrutiny of the accounts and other information obtained by that inquiry raises serious concerns as to whether the charity\u2019s accounts provided to the commission present an accurate picture of the charity\u2019s financial activities and whether assets currently, or previously, belonging to the charity have been adequately accounted for.<\/p>\n

The inquiry will examine:<\/p>\n
