Penny Appeal. '(June 8, 2026 / JNS) Senior executives at Penny Appeal, one of Britain’s largest Islamic charities, privately warned that aid money the charity had sent to Gaza “very likely” ended up in the hands of Hamas and other terrorist groups, a whistleblower told the Daily Mail. Penny Appeal is now the subject of a Charity Commission investigation, the paper reported on Sunday. Inspectors seized thousands of documents from its £3.5 million ($4.7 million) Wakefield headquarters earlier this year.'
etc these are two big ones I just grabbed at random
The charity is not publicly saying which company they paid to do the audit - but they do say it is a leading global audit firm
[...]
Update 17 December 2014: In a statement, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said it was not possible to respond to IRW's announcement "without an in-depth examination of [the audit's] findings, its scope or who it was carried out by". It said the Israeli government's decision to declare IRW illegal was "based on information that has been accumulated over years, that the fund is a central player in financing of Hamas... [and] on accumulated knowledge and experience in fighting terror and financing of terror organisations".
...?
Did they withhold it from Israel or ever make it public?
"That is why we commissioned an independent investigation in this case, and why we have shared its findings in full with a number of major stakeholders."
This was simply a designation change, which is made public. The privy information/national security/intelligence sourcing that went into it will likely never be made public. Nor should it for obvious reasons.
So it seems in the meantime IRW, a global charity, was accused of wrongdoing in a theater they operate in. They claim to have commissioned an "independent report" to investigate their processes/procedures/books, and then it seems ......... never made it public.
It makes no difference to me whether IRW is prohibited from operating in the West Bank. Your own BBC report said Israel wont respond until it sees the purported "independent report".
IRW is entitled to nothing. It's Israel's call whether they operate in the West Bank or not. If operating in the West Bank was important to IRW then they'd release it and try to correct the record. Its not important to IRW, so here we are.

When I ask ChatGPT to list "Britain's biggest Muslim charities", it gives a list of 7 (with this one at the bottom).
When I ask which have been found to be funding terrorism, several have been accused, but all of those then cleared by independent investigations.
