Its latest report for 2024-25 was due last September, an extension deadline was granted until the end of last month and the report has still not been delivered. Before the latest failure to meet a reporting deadline, OHL had persistently filed its annual reports later than Charities Services requires. The latest failure to submit its annual report to a deadline has been added to the pile of concerns to investigate, DIA indicated. When asked to comment on the most recent failure to submit its report to deadline, OHL said "OHL and DIA have mutually agreed on arrangements".
