Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my charity?
Look for an accountant who is qualified with a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and who has specific experience with charities. They should understand the Charities Act, SORP, and HMRC requirements. Check that they offer services like independent examinations, VAT advice, and payroll management. It is also helpful to read client reviews and ask for references from other charities.
How can an accountant help with HMRC compliance for my charity?
An experienced accountant will ensure your charity meets all HMRC obligations, including filing annual returns and claiming Gift Aid. They can also help with VAT registration if your charity's taxable turnover exceeds the threshold, and advise on partial exemption rules. Additionally, they will assist with Corporation Tax returns if your charity has non-charitable income, ensuring you pay the correct amount.
What is the role of an independent examiner and do I need one?
An independent examiner reviews your charity's financial statements to provide assurance that they are accurate and comply with the Charities Act. Most charities with an income below the audit threshold require an independent examination rather than a full audit. The examiner must be someone with the appropriate skills and experience, often an accountant. Your accountant can act as your independent examiner if they meet the criteria.
Can an accountant help with Gift Aid and other tax reliefs for my charity?
Yes, accountants can help you claim Gift Aid on eligible donations, ensuring you receive the correct amount of tax relief. They can also assist with other reliefs such as the Charities Relief for business rates and the reduced rate of VAT on certain purchases. An accountant will keep you up to date with any changes in legislation so you never miss out on potential savings.
What are the benefits of using a qualified accountant from a regulated body?
Using a qualified accountant from a regulated body like ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT ensures that you receive professional advice from someone who adheres to strict ethical and technical standards. They are required to undertake continuous professional development, so their knowledge is current. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and gives you confidence that your charity's finances are in safe hands.
How often should I meet with my charity accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your charity accountant at least twice a year, but more frequent meetings can be beneficial, especially during the year-end and when planning for the next financial year. Regular contact ensures that any financial issues are identified early and that your accounting records are maintained correctly. Your accountant can also provide advice on budgeting and cash flow management.
