Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should an accountant for a charity hold?
A charity accountant should ideally be a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to strict ethical and professional standards. This is particularly important when dealing with HMRC and preparing statutory accounts for the Charity Commission.
How can a specialist charity accountant help with HMRC compliance?
A specialist charity accountant can assist with various HMRC requirements, including claiming Gift Aid on donations, ensuring correct VAT treatment for different activities, and preparing Corporation Tax returns for any trading subsidiaries. They stay updated on tax legislation changes and ensure your charity meets all filing deadlines, avoiding penalties and maintaining good standing with HMRC.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity's accounts, suitable for smaller charities with income below a certain threshold. An audit is a more thorough and formal process, required for larger charities. A qualified accountant can advise which is necessary for your organisation and carry out the appropriate level of scrutiny to satisfy legal requirements.
Can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims for my charity?
Yes, an accountant experienced in the charity sector can manage the entire Gift Aid process. They will ensure you have the correct declarations from donors, calculate the amount reclaimable from HMRC, and submit the necessary claims. This maximises your charity's income and ensures full compliance with HMRC's rules, which is vital for maintaining your tax reliefs.
What records must a charity keep for tax purposes?
A charity must keep accurate financial records, including receipts, bank statements, and invoices, for at least six years. These records support the preparation of annual accounts and tax returns. An accountant will help you establish a robust bookkeeping system that tracks restricted and unrestricted funds, ensuring you can provide HMRC with any requested information promptly and accurately.
How often should a charity review its financial procedures with an accountant?
It is advisable to review your financial procedures at least annually, or whenever there is a significant change in your activities or income. Regular reviews help identify potential risks, improve internal controls, and ensure your charity remains compliant with evolving regulations. An accountant can provide ongoing advice and support to help you maintain strong financial governance throughout the year.
