Black police group funding frozen | Black police group funding frozen |

National Black Police Association funding has been frozen while accounts are studied for evidence of "improper activities", the Home Office has said. | |
This was because of "inadequate financial controls and a lack of other financial management procedures", a spokeswoman said. | |
Evidence of improper financial activity could lead to a fraud investigation. | |
The association, which was told of the decision at the start of the month, received £180,000 funding last year. | |
The issues had been discovered while the Home Office auditors studied NBPA accounts, the spokeswoman added. | |
"The [NBPA] cabinet were informed on 2 April that, due to inadequate financial controls and a lack of other financial management procedures being in place, their grant and grant in aid funding for administration was frozen with effect from 1 April," she said. |
