with lots of money. But when you are the boss of a charity, how much

:00:49.:00:54.

should you be paid? The man who looks at charities in England and

with money, William Shawcross reckons charities need to keep a

:01:11.:01:17.

closer eye on what their Chief Executives get. According to the

:01:17.:01:25.
