Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should a charity accountant hold?
A charity accountant should ideally be a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure that the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to strict ethical guidelines. They will also be up to date with the latest Charity Commission requirements and SORP standards, which are essential for preparing accurate accounts for your organisation.
How can an accountant help with HMRC compliance for my charity?
An accountant can assist with HMRC compliance by preparing and submitting your charity's tax returns, managing PAYE for staff, and advising on VAT obligations. They can also help with Gift Aid claims and ensure that any trading activities are taxed correctly. This reduces the risk of penalties and ensures that your charity fully benefits from available tax reliefs.
What is the difference between an independent examination and a full audit?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity's accounts, usually required for charities with an income between £25,000 and £1 million. A full audit is more detailed and is mandatory for larger charities. A qualified accountant can advise which is appropriate for your organisation and carry out the required work in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines.
Can a charity accountant help with Corporation Tax returns?
Yes, many charities are required to file Corporation Tax returns if they have trading income or other taxable activities. An accountant can help you determine your tax liabilities, claim exemptions where applicable, and submit your returns to HMRC on time. They will also advise on how to structure any commercial ventures to remain tax-efficient.
How often should my charity review its accounting arrangements?
It is advisable to review your accounting arrangements at least once a year, ideally before your year-end. This allows you to assess whether your current accountant is meeting your needs and whether fees are competitive. Regular reviews also help ensure that your financial systems remain robust and that you are receiving the most up-to-date advice on regulations and best practice.
What records must a charity keep for tax purposes?
A charity must keep accurate financial records, including receipts, invoices, bank statements, and payroll records. You should also retain details of grants, donations, and any restricted funds. These records are needed to prepare your annual accounts and tax returns, and they must be kept for at least six years. An accountant can help you set up a suitable record-keeping system.
