Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for charities provide?
Accountants for charities provide a range of services including preparation of annual accounts, independent examinations, audits, and tax compliance. They assist with Gift Aid claims, VAT returns, and Corporation Tax where applicable. They also help with financial reporting to funders, budgeting, and internal controls. By engaging a specialist, your charity can ensure that all statutory requirements are met and that funds are used effectively.
How do I choose the right accountant for my charity in Horsforth?
When choosing an accountant for your charity, look for someone with experience in the charitable sector and knowledge of the Charity Commission’s requirements. Check their qualifications, such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT membership. It is also wise to ask about their experience with similar-sized charities and their approach to restricted funds. Reviewing client testimonials and comparing local firms can help you make an informed decision.
What is the role of an independent examiner for a charity?
An independent examiner reviews a charity’s accounts to provide assurance that they are correct and comply with the Charities Act. The examiner must be independent of the charity and have the necessary skills and experience. For smaller charities with an income below a certain threshold, an independent examination is often required instead of a full audit. The examiner will report any concerns to the trustees and may recommend improvements.
Are there any tax advantages for charities when working with a specialist accountant?
Yes, charities can benefit from various tax reliefs, including exemption from Corporation Tax on most income, and the ability to claim Gift Aid on donations. A specialist accountant can ensure that your charity claims all eligible reliefs and complies with HMRC regulations. They can also advise on VAT treatment of certain supplies and help with payroll and pension schemes. Proper tax planning is essential for maximising your resources.
How often should my charity have its accounts reviewed?
Charities are required to prepare annual accounts and have them independently examined or audited, depending on their income and structure. The review must be completed within a set timeframe after the financial year end. Regular financial reviews, perhaps quarterly, are also advisable to monitor cash flow and ensure that funds are being used as intended. An accountant can help you set up a review schedule that meets legal requirements and supports good governance.
Can an accountant help with Gift Aid and other HMRC claims?
Absolutely. Accountants specialising in charities can manage the entire Gift Aid process, including calculating the amount claimable, submitting claims to HMRC, and ensuring that records are kept correctly. They can also assist with other HMRC claims such as the repayment of VAT on certain purchases. By keeping accurate records and submitting claims on time, your charity can maximise its income without administrative burden.
