I asked you if there were an specific groups that you feel that I should be investigating as I do not have the time or inclination to go wading through the integrity of every single community group in Hyndburn.

There is no clear inference or implication. To suggest so is clearly wrong. Posing a question is an entirely different prospect to making an assertion. I heartily suggest you watch Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight. He will pose questions routinely as above, but these are entirely different to asserting as fact that something exists. The latter requires evidence to substantiate the same.
If I had information of blatant fraud, I think it would be more appropriate to refer it to the auditors rather than yourself. In fact, if the auditors were competent they would have picked it up themselves and would not be relying on information from myself.
