Frequently asked questions
What specific experience should an accountant have with charities?
An accountant working with charities should have a thorough understanding of the Charities SORP, which dictates how charity accounts are prepared. They should also be familiar with gift aid, restricted funds, and the reporting requirements of the Charity Commission. Experience with independent examinations or audits is beneficial, along with knowledge of HMRC regulations for charitable status.
How do I verify that an accountant is properly qualified?
You should check whether the accountant is a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These organisations require members to meet strict standards and undertake continuing professional development. You can also ask for references from other charities they have worked with, and confirm their registration with the relevant regulatory bodies.
What is the role of HMRC in charity accounting?
HMRC oversees the tax privileges that charities receive, such as relief on income and gains. Charities must comply with HMRC rules to retain their charitable status, including accurate record keeping and timely submission of tax returns. An accountant can help ensure that all HMRC requirements are met and that any taxable trading activities are correctly reported.
Can an accountant help with VAT for my charity?
Yes, VAT for charities can be complex due to partial exemption rules and special reliefs. An experienced accountant will analyse your charity’s income and expenditure to determine the correct VAT treatment. They can assist with VAT registration, completing returns, and claiming any available reliefs, ensuring that you do not overpay or breach HMRC regulations.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity’s accounts, usually required for smaller charities with income below a certain threshold. An audit is a more thorough examination, required for larger charities, and must be carried out by a registered auditor. An accountant can advise which applies to your organisation and conduct the appropriate review.
How often should my charity review its accounting arrangements?
It is wise to review your accounting arrangements at least once a year, or whenever there is a significant change in your charity’s income or structure. Regular reviews ensure that your accountant remains suitable for your needs and that you are receiving the most cost-effective service. This also helps you stay up to date with any changes in charity law or financial reporting standards.
