Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant who understands the specific accounting requirements for the voluntary sector, including the Charities SORP. It is also important to find someone who is familiar with HMRC rules regarding Gift Aid, VAT, and Corporation Tax. Checking professional qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT can provide reassurance of their expertise and commitment to ethical standards.
How can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
An accountant can help your charity maximise Gift Aid by ensuring all donations are correctly recorded and that declarations are properly obtained from donors. They will also calculate the amount you can claim and submit the necessary records to HMRC. This specialist knowledge can significantly increase the funds your charity receives without any additional effort from your supporters.
What are the benefits of using a certified accountant for a charity?
Using a certified accountant ensures that your charity’s financial statements are prepared in line with the relevant regulations and standards. Professionals with ACCA or ICAEW qualifications have undergone rigorous training and are subject to ongoing professional development. They can also provide independent examinations or audits, which are often required for larger charities, and help you avoid penalties from HMRC.
How often should a charity review its accounting arrangements?
It is wise to review your charity’s accounting arrangements at least once a year, or whenever there is a significant change in your activities or funding. This helps ensure that your financial systems remain efficient and compliant. An accountant can assist with this review, identifying any areas where improvements could be made to strengthen internal controls or reduce costs.
Can an accountant help with a charity’s Corporation Tax return?
Yes, although many charities are exempt from Corporation Tax on certain types of income, they may still need to file a return if they have taxable activities. An accountant can determine whether your charity needs to submit a Corporation Tax return and help you claim any available exemptions. They will also ensure that your tax affairs are fully compliant with HMRC requirements.
What is the role of an accountant in preparing a charity’s annual report?
An accountant plays a vital role in preparing the financial statements that accompany a charity’s annual report. They will ensure that the accounts are accurate, complete, and presented in accordance with the Charities SORP. They can also assist with the independent examination or audit, providing an objective assessment of your financial records and giving donors and regulators confidence in your charity’s governance.
