Frequently asked questions
What does a charity accountant do?
A charity accountant prepares statutory accounts, manages fund accounting, and ensures compliance with Charity Commission requirements. They handle gift aid claims, VAT returns, and independent examinations. They also advise trustees on financial strategy, reserves, and budgeting, helping organisations maintain transparency and meet their legal obligations whilst focusing on their charitable objectives.
Why should a charity use an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants have undergone rigorous training in financial reporting, taxation, and audit. Their expertise ensures charity accounts comply with the Charities SORP and relevant legislation. They can identify tax reliefs, manage HMRC communications, and provide assurance to donors and trustees that finances are handled to the highest professional standards.
Do charities need to submit a tax return to HMRC?
Most charities are exempt from Corporation Tax on income used for charitable purposes, but they may still need to submit a tax return to HMRC in certain circumstances, such as earning income from trading or property. A qualified accountant can determine whether a return is required and ensure any liabilities are correctly calculated and reported.
What is an independent examination for a charity?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of charity accounts, required when income exceeds a certain threshold but a full audit is not mandatory. It must be carried out by a qualified person, often an ACCA or ICAEW member. The examiner checks that accounts are prepared correctly and comply with charity regulations.
How can I find a charity accountant in London?
You can use AccountingFirms.co.uk to browse verified accountants in London. The directory allows you to compare providers, read about their specialisms, and request quotes. Look for firms with experience in charity accounting, and check they are regulated by a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT.
What records must a charity keep for HMRC and the Charity Commission?
Charities must maintain accurate records of income, expenditure, assets, and liabilities. This includes gift aid declarations, bank statements, invoices, and grant agreements. Records should be kept for at least six years. Proper record-keeping supports tax relief claims, ensures compliance during independent examinations, and facilitates timely submission of annual returns.
