The FA charges relate to the club's signing of Argentinian midfielder Alejandro Faurlin, who joined Rangers for a fee believed to be a club record in the region of £3.5million in 2009.
The club have been charged with agreeing a deal with a third party in the player's transfer and allegedly failing to inform the FA of the arrangement before registering Faurlin, who made 44 appearances last season and has featured in 31 games this term.
An FA statement announcing the news also confirmed that the club are alleged to have used or sought to pay an unauthorised agent in relation to Faurlin's registration.
It read: "The club charges relate to the player Alejandro Faurlin and concern the alleged existence of an agreement between the club and a third party in respect of the player's economic rights, and the alleged failure by the club to notify the FA of that agreement before the player was registered to play in England in July 2009."
Additionally, club chairman Gianni Paladini has been charged, along with Rangers, over documents alleged to be false which were sent to the FA when the 24-year-old extended his contract at Loftus Road in October last year.
In a statement on their official website, the club acknowledged the charges had been received but said both they and Paladini were innocent and would be seeking a hearing.
"Having co-operated fully with the FA's investigation, QPR and Mr Paladini shall be denying all of the charges and requesting a formal FA hearing to determine them," the statement read.
"QPR and Mr Paladini are confident that there has been no deliberate wrongdoing involved."
Should the club be found guilty, the FA's Regulatory Commission will be tasked with deciding upon a necessary punishment, with a points deduction not impossible.
