Charities Regulator

The Charities Regulatory Authority, which operates as the Charities Regulator, oversees charities in Ireland. It is charged with strengthening public confidence in charitable trusts, pressing trustees to meet their duties, maintaining the register of charitable organisations, checking compliance, and investigating where the Act allows.

The Authority was established on 16 October 2014. Section 13 of the Charities Act 2009 created it on the establishment day and allowed it to describe itself as the Charities Regulator, and the Charities Act 2009 (Establishment Day) Order 2014 (S.I. No. 456 of 2014) appointed that day.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
