Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in an accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant who is familiar with charity law, the Charity Commission’s reporting requirements, and the specific tax rules that apply to non-profit organisations. Look for qualifications from ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and ask about experience with restricted funds, Gift Aid, and independent examinations. A good accountant will also provide proactive advice on financial controls and governance.
How can an accountant help with HMRC compliance for a charity?
An accountant can ensure your charity meets all HMRC obligations, including filing accurate Corporation Tax returns, managing VAT efficiently, and claiming Gift Aid on eligible donations. They can also advise on payroll for employees, including PAYE and National Insurance. By staying up to date with HMRC changes, they help you avoid penalties and maintain your charitable status.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity’s accounts, suitable for smaller charities with income below the audit threshold. An audit is a more detailed and formal assurance process, required for larger charities. An accountant can determine which applies to your organisation and carry out the necessary work, giving donors and trustees confidence in the financial statements.
Can an accountant help with VAT for a charity?
Yes, accountants can assist charities with VAT registration, partial exemption calculations, and claiming reliefs on certain purchases. Charities can often recover VAT on some goods and services, and an accountant will ensure you claim all that you are entitled to. They can also advise on VAT implications for fundraising events and trading activities, helping you stay compliant.
How often should a charity review its financial performance with an accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least quarterly to review budgets, cash flow, and any changes in regulation. Regular reviews help you identify potential issues early and make informed decisions. An annual meeting is essential to prepare the year-end accounts and tax returns. Frequent communication ensures your charity remains financially healthy and compliant.
What records must a charity keep for tax purposes?
Charities must keep detailed records of all income and expenditure, including donations, grants, and fundraising proceeds. You should also retain records of any restricted funds and how they are spent. For tax purposes, you need to document Gift Aid declarations, VAT records, and payroll information. An accountant can help you set up an efficient record-keeping system to meet HMRC requirements.
