The abstract of the Commission’s 1998 Annual Report, CC10-–The Work of the Charity Commission for England and Wales in 1998 (1999), available at www.charity-commission.gov.uk, though it makes no mention of the CPA’s report, appears to indicate that some progress is being made. Given the history of the organization and the conflicted nature of its mandate, however, it is debatable whether the Commission deserves the benefit of the doubt, and doubtful whether any improvements will be sustained.
