The office is pleased to announce that the Regulator of Community Interest Companies (CIC) Annual Report 2016 to 2017 was laid in Parliament on Tuesday 18 July 2017.
It is a team effort, where we detail the work of the CIC Regulator from April 2016 to March 2017. We continue to work with Mark Sherlock, Graphic Designer at Companies House who uses his creative mind to design the report.
This year’s report
The theme of this year’s report is focused on growth. The CIC sector has grown phenomenally since 2005 and, whilst celebrating the unprecedented growth and success of CICs, we also review the challenges and opportunities in maintaining growth, productivity and longevity in the years to come.
Ceri Witchard, CIC Regulator said:
I am pleased to report another rewarding year of growth, building on the excellent work of my predecessor in ensuring CICs continue to be the social enterprise of choice in the vibrant and growing social enterprise sector.
