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 high ethical and technical standards. Additionally, experience with the Charities SORP and knowledge of HMRC regulations for charities is essential. Always check their credentials and ask about their previous work with charitable organisations.
How can a specialist accountant help with Gift Aid?
A specialist accountant can assist your charity in claiming Gift Aid on eligible donations, ensuring that all necessary declarations are correctly obtained and recorded. They will help you calculate the amount reclaimable from HMRC and submit the appropriate claims. They can also advise on the rules surrounding donations from companies and higher-rate taxpayers, ensuring that you maximise your income while remaining fully compliant with tax legislation.
What is the Charities SORP and why is it important?
The Charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) sets out the accounting and reporting framework that charities in England and Wales must follow when preparing their annual accounts. It ensures consistency and transparency, making it easier for donors and regulators to understand a charity's financial position. An accountant familiar with the SORP will ensure that your accounts are prepared correctly, with the appropriate disclosures and fund accounting requirements.
Do charities need to file a Corporation Tax return?
Charities are generally exempt from Corporation Tax on income that is used for charitable purposes, but they may still need to file a return if they have taxable trading income or other non-exempt income. A qualified accountant can determine whether your charity has a filing obligation and prepare the necessary returns. They will also advise on how to structure trading activities to maintain your tax-exempt status.
How often should a charity review its financial procedures?
It is advisable for a charity to review its financial procedures at least annually, or whenever there are significant changes in its operations or in the regulatory environment. Regular reviews help to identify weaknesses internal controls, ensure compliance with HMRC and the Charity Commission, and improve the efficiency of financial management. An external accountant can provide an independent perspective and recommend best practices.
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
When choosing an accountant, a charity should look for someone with specific experience in the voluntary sector, ideally with a qualification from ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. It is important to consider their knowledge of charity law, tax concessions, and the SORP. Also, check their availability, communication style, and fee structure. Recommendations from other charities and reviews on directory platforms can also be valuable in making your decision.
