These Regulations make provision for the conversion of certain types of incorporated body into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”). A CIO is a legal form created specifically to meet the needs of charities under the Charities Act 2006 (the provisions have now been consolidated into the Charities Act 2011).
Part 1 applies regulation 7 of the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (General) Regulations 2012 (Applications for registration: communications with Commission) to applications for conversion under these Regulations.
Part 2 of the Regulations allows for the conversion of a community interest company (a CIC) into a CIO. A CIC is a type of limited company which is registered at Companies House and is regulated by the Regulator of Community Interest Companies. A CIC cannot be a charity. The application process for a CIC to convert into a CIO broadly replicates sections 228 to 233 of the Charities Act 2011 (process for a charitable company to convert into a CIO).
Part 3 of the Regulations supplements sections 228 to 233 of the Charities Act 2011 by making further provision in relation to the conversion of a charitable company into a CIO. The provisions set out additional information to be provided with an application to convert and circumstances where it is not appropriate for the Charity Commission to grant an application.
Part 4 sets out financial reporting requirements for CIOs in respect of financial years before and after conversion.
