Can you please provide the number of charities over the last 6 years where the investigation has taken longer than 3 years, longer than 4 years, and longer than 5 years.
How many open investigations are there that have taken longer than 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years?
What is the longest investigation to date of a charity?
What is the average length of time taken for an investigation into a charity in NZ?
