Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my charity?
When selecting an accountant for your charity, look for someone with specific experience in the charity sector. They should understand the Charity Commission’s reporting requirements and be familiar with SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice). Check that they are qualified with a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. It is also beneficial to ask about their experience with Gift Aid, restricted funds, and independent examinations.
How can a charity accountant help with HMRC compliance?
A charity accountant can assist with HMRC compliance by ensuring your charity meets its tax obligations. They can help with Corporation Tax returns, VAT registration and returns, and payroll for charity employees. They will also advise on claiming Gift Aid and other tax reliefs available to charities. Their expertise helps avoid penalties and ensures that you meet all filing deadlines.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit for a charity?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity’s accounts, suitable for smaller charities with an income below the audit threshold. An audit is a more thorough examination of the financial records and internal controls, required for larger charities. A qualified accountant can advise which is necessary for your organisation and can carry out either service, ensuring compliance with the Charity Commission’s regulations.
Are there specific tax reliefs available to charities that an accountant can help with?
Yes, charities can benefit from various tax reliefs, including Gift Aid on donations, relief from Corporation Tax on certaincome, and reduced business rates on premises used for charitable purposes. A specialist accountant will ensure you claim all reliefs you are entitled to. They can also help with VAT exemptions and partial exemption calculations, which can be complex for charities with mixed income streams.
How often should my charity review its financial processes with an accountant?
It is advisable to have a formal review at least annually, but more frequent check-ins can be beneficial, especially if your charity is growing or undergoing significant changes. A quarterly or half-yearly meeting can help you stay on top of cash flow, budgeting, and any regulatory updates. Your accountant can also provide training for your staff or trustees on financial management and internal controls.
Can an accountant help my charity set up a payroll system for employees?
Yes, an accountant can help you set up and manage a payroll system for your charity. They can ensure that you are registered as an employer with HMRC, calculate PAYE and National Insurance contributions, and handle auto-enrolment pension duties. They can also provide advice on employment status for casual workers and volunteers, ensuring that your charity remains compliant with employment and tax law.
