Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
Charities should seek an accountant who understands the specific regulations that apply to the voluntary sector. Look for professionals with relevant qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and ask about their experience with charity accounts and HMRC reporting. A good accountant will also be familiar with the Charity Commission’s requirements and can help with restricted funds, governance, and tax compliance.
Do charities need to submit a Corporation Tax return?
Most charities are exempt from Corporation Tax on income used for charitable purposes, but they may still need to file a return if they have taxable income or activities. An accountant can help determine whether your charity needs to register with HMRC and submit a Corporation Tax return. They will also advise on claiming reliefs and ensuring that all reporting deadlines are met.
How can an accountant help with VAT for a charity?
Charities may be eligible for certain VAT reliefs, but the rules can be complex. An accountant can review your charity’s income and expenditure to identify where VAT applies and where reliefs are available. They can also assist with VAT registration, completing returns, and ensuring that your charity remains compliant with HMRC’s requirements, while avoiding unnecessary costs.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are recognised professional bodies that require rigorous training and ongoing development. ACCA accountants often have a strong international focus, while ICAEW accountants are known for their expertise in UK financial reporting and audit. For charity work, either qualification provides a high level of competence, but it is important to check that the accountant has specific experience in the charitable sector.
Can an accountant help with a charity’s annual return to the Charity Commission?
Yes, an experienced charity accountant can prepare and submit the annual return to the Charity Commission, ensuring that all required financial information is accurate and complete. They can also help with the independent examination or audit of accounts, depending on the charity’s income and legal requirements. This support helps trustees fulfil their responsibilities and maintain public confidence.
How often should a charity review its financial procedures?
It is advisable to review financial procedures at least once a year, or whenever there are significant changes in the charity’s activities or income. An accountant can conduct a review of internal controls, identify any weaknesses, and recommend improvements. Regular reviews help prevent errors, fraud, and non-compliance, and they also demonstrate good governance to donors and stakeholders.
