Frequently asked questions
What specific services do charity accountants provide?
Charity accountants provide a range of services including preparation of annual accounts, independent examinations, and audits where required. They also manage HMRC reporting, handle Gift Aid claims, prepare Corporation Tax returns for trading subsidiaries, and offer strategic advice on financial controls and budgeting. Additionally, they assist with trustee reports and ensure compliance with the Charity Commission's Statement of Recommended Practice, known as the SORP.
Why is it important to use a qualified accountant for my charity?
Using a qualified accountant ensures your charity meets all legal and regulatory obligations. Professionals with ACCA or ICAEW accreditation possess the necessary expertise to handle complex charity law and tax regulations. They help prevent costly errors in your accounts and tax returns, provide assurance to your trustees and donors, and offer strategic guidance to improve financial sustainability. Their professional oversight is essential for maintaining public trust and confidence in your organisation.
How do I know if my charity needs an independent examination or a full audit?
The requirement depends on your charity's gross income and total assets. Charities with an income over a certain threshold, typically £25,000, must have their accounts independently examined. A full statutory audit is required if income exceeds £1 million or gross assets exceed £3.1 million with income over £250,000. Your accountant can advise on the precise legal requirements based on your specific figures and governing document.
Can a charity accountant help with Gift Aid claims?
Yes, absolutely. Gift Aid is a valuable source of funding for charities, allowing you to reclaim basic rate tax on donations from UK taxpayers. An experienced accountant will ensure your Gift Aid declarations are correctly completed and stored, calculate your reclaim accurately, and submit the necessary claims to HMRC. They can also advise on Gift Aid for small donations and community buildings to maximise your charity's income.
What is the SORP and why does it matter for charity accounts?
The SORP, or Statement of Recommended Practice, is the framework that charities must follow when preparing their annual accounts. It ensures consistency and transparency in financial reporting across the sector. Compliance with the SORP is mandatory for all charities in England and Wales preparing accruals accounts. A specialist accountant will ensure your accounts meet these standards, presenting funds and expenditure in the correct format required by the Charity Commission.
How often should my charity review its financial procedures with an accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your charity accountant at least twice a year for a thorough financial review. One meeting should occur during the year to review progress against budget and address any emerging issues, with another after your year-end to prepare the annual accounts. Regular contact ensures your financial procedures remain robust, your tax obligations are fulfilled on time, and your trustees receive accurate financial information throughout the year.
