This framework should also foster public confidence in charities. It was formerly an executive agency but following the passing of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 it was made independent of ministerial control, and answers directly to the Scottish Parliament. The OSCR is based in Dundee. It is the equivalent of the Charity Commission for England and Wales and the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. ==Functions== The OSCR perform a range of functions which includes:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About OSCR: Our work )〕 * Determining whether bodies are charities. * Keeping a public Register of charities. * Facilitating compliance by charities with the legislation. * Investigating any apparent misconduct in the administration of charities. * Giving information or advice to Scottish Ministers.
