Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant who understands the specific accounting requirements for the voluntary sector, including the Charities SORP. Look for a professional with experience in preparing charity accounts and managing restricted funds. Membership of a recognised body such as ICAEW, ACCA, or AAT is important as it ensures the accountant adheres to professional standards. They should also be familiar with HMRC regulations, including Gift Aid and VAT for charities.
How can a charity accountant help with HMRC compliance?
A charity accountant helps ensure your organisation meets all HMRC obligations. This includes preparing and filing Corporation Tax returns if your charity has trading income, managing PAYE for employees, and advising on VAT rules specific to charities. They also help with Gift Aid claims, ensuring you reclaim tax on donations correctly. Their expertise reduces the risk of penalties and helps your charity remain compliant with tax laws.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant for a charity?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are recognised professional bodies that qualify accountants to a high standard. The main difference lies in their examination and practical experience requirements, but both ensure members are competent and ethical. For charity work, the choice often depends on the accountant's individual experience with the voluntary sector. Look for someone who has previously handled charity audits or accounts, regardless of whether they hold ACCA or ICAEW qualifications.
Why is it important to use a specialist charity accountant rather than a general one?
Charity accounting involves unique principles, such as fund accounting and the preparation of accounts under the Charities SORP. A specialist will be familiar with the specific reporting requirements of the Charity Commission and will know how to handle restricted income and endowments. They are also up to date with any changes in charity law and tax regulations. Using a general accountant may lead to errors or missed opportunities for tax efficiency.
How often should a charity review its accounting arrangements?
It is advisable to review your charity's accounting arrangements at least once a year, ideally before the start of a new financial year. This allows you to assess whether your current accountant is meeting your needs and whether fees remain competitive. Regular reviews also ensure that your accounting systems are efficient and that you are taking advantage of any new tax reliefs or regulatory changes. An annual check helps maintain financial health.
