The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland has published the names of all organisations
in Northern Ireland to which its powers apply.

The 6000-name list, which is available on the Commission website, provides details
of all organisations granted charitable tax exemption by HMRC as of 18 February 
2011. The Commission says the list will be updated quarterly to include new organisations
and to remove those no longer recognised as such by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

Last month the Commission formally announced the introduction of charity regulation
to Northern Ireland.

The move allows CCNI to begin its investigatory, compliance, enforcement and regulatory
scrutiny of all charities currently registered with HMRC for tax purposes, and will
begin the regulators efforts to increase public trust and confidence in charities.

The step brings into effect some of the key provisions of the Charities Act (NI)
2008. However, the introduction of a full register of all charities in Northern 
Ireland has been delayed by a technical problem with the wording of the original
legislation. Plans to amend the Charities Act (NI) 2008 are currently being considered
by the Minister for Social Development.
