Check out the accounts of UMC on charities commission website which is tax payer funded charity and note £000’s (thousands) worth of transactions from UMC to Pumpoosh Enterprises LTD which both happen to be controlled by Parveen Qureshi with clear conflict of interest and creative accounting.
Some of the Trustees and Directors are ‘Yes’ people who in some cases are semi-literate women who cannot read English with no clue to what documents they are signing to and agreeing to on behalf of P Qureshi.
Time for Inspector Knacker to be called in to investigate and expose this fraud on Rotherham tax payers.
Parveen Qureshi has received funding between £200000 to £500000 annually in the last 6 years. In one year she got a new car according to the accounts. The account state no one is paid more than £60000 at UMC.
How can Parveen Qureshi justify paying herself such a large salary without any Job Evaluation from a charitable organisation that is funded by the rax payer?
Is Parveen Qureshi the main beneficiary of the charitable works of UMC to the community?
There is a lot more to expose and tell.!
Rotherham Politics 
Everybody knows that Ms Qureshi has long been claiming that she (for example, teaches 100 women English but claims for 500) it’s how she bought her Merc bought the Corner shop on Carlisle Street as well as the empty property on the Spring Street. This is because of her special relationship with councillor shaukat.
weird how you forget of these kind of criminals because they’ve being doing it for so long so it seems normal. You should see her lavish house too…

The Charity Commission is the organisation that deals with such matters. But having read the post above my own feeling is that whoever wrote the post has little experience of reading, and more importantly understanding, Charity accounts.
As but one example; it is a requirement for charities to state the number of employees earning more that £60,000, but it implies nothing about the salaries of anyone working for the charity when no employee is earning that figure. Then you might look at the total salaries paid line, which is also shown, along with the number of employees and pension contributions etc.

If persons who are close to a Charity, are in receipt of Funds, then they become “connected persons”. If a person is deemed to be a “Connected person” then specific rules and regulations apply. In some cases the Charity Commission may well have to be informed before certain transactions/procedures are put in place. The only way to get this sorted, is to collect the evidence, write it down and make a formal complaint to the Commission. Its a simple process.

A few years ago there was issues about accounts of UMC. It was alleged one employee had left and taken the account books. Now looking at the fees paid to the auditors in the UMC accounts why is there a one off special fee paid to the auditors of £20000 in one year but other years it is £2500 – £3500. This can be checked on Charity Commision website.

The funds of charities are their own funds not “taxpayer funds”. Many are”restricted” in that they are proved for one specific usage and by law must not be used for any other purpose.

Further why was £20000 paid according to accounts to former auditors of UMC in 2009 yet £3000 was- paid to have the accounts audited in that year.
What exactly was this payment for when there was a separate payment for auditing the accounts in the same year.
Some of the Trustees / Directors were employees of UMC/Pumpoosh LTD yet accounts state none of the Trustees/Directors has received renumeration?
How can this be right? Is the statement implying none of them received payments for being Trustees/ Directors but were being paid as employees?
If so how can the Trustees exercise their duties and responsibilities independently and avoid conflict of interest?
