Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for when choosing an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant with proven experience in the charitable sector, ideally familiar with the Charities SORP and Gift Aid rules. Membership of a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT provides assurance of professional standards. It is also helpful to confirm whether the firm handles independent examinations, audits, and HMRC compliance for charitable organisations.
Do charities need to submit a tax return to HMRC?
Most charities are exempt from paying Corporation Tax on charitable income, but they may still need to notify HMRC or submit a tax return in certain circumstances, such as trading income above the threshold or rental income. A qualified accountant can clarify whether a return is required and ensure any liabilities are correctly reported and paid on time.
How can an accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
An accountant can review donation records, confirm eligibility, and prepare accurate Gift Aid claims to HMRC. They can also advise on record-keeping requirements and help trustees avoid common errors that delay repayments. This ensures the charity reclaims the correct amount whilst remaining compliant with HMRC guidance and charitable regulations.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit for a charity?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review typically required for smaller charities, whilst an audit is a more detailed statutory process for larger organisations meeting specific income thresholds. An accountant can advise which applies, carry out the work, and ensure the trustees meet their legal reporting duties under charity law.
Are ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT accountants regulated?
Yes, ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT are recognised professional bodies that regulate their members and set strict ethical and technical standards. Choosing a regulated accountant provides assurance that the professional holds appropriate qualifications, follows continuing professional development, and is subject to oversight and disciplinary procedures if standards are not maintained.
How does AccountingFirms help charities find suitable accountants?
AccountingFirms allows users to browse and compare verified, regulated accountants by specialism and location. Established in 2019 and built by ICAEW and ACCA accountants, the directory helps trustees identify firms experienced in charity accounts, Gift Aid, VAT, and HMRC compliance, making it easier to select a provider that matches the charity's needs.
