Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my charity?
When selecting an accountant for your charity, look for a professional who holds a recognised qualification such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT and who has experience with charitable organisations. They should understand the Charity Commission’s reporting requirements, SORP, and specific tax rules like Gift Aid. It is also important to find someone who communicates clearly and offers proactive advice on financial planning and compliance.
How can an accountant help with HMRC compliance for a charity?
An accountant specialising in charities will ensure your organisation meets all HMRC obligations, including filing accurate tax returns, claiming Gift Aid, and managing VAT. They will help you determine whether any trading activities are subject to Corporation Tax and advise on exemptions. Their expertise reduces the risk of penalties and ensures that you take advantage of all available tax reliefs.
What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of a charity’s accounts, typically required for smaller charities with an income below a certain threshold. An audit is a more thorough examination, required for larger charities, providing greater assurance to funders and the public. An experienced accountant can advise which applies to your organisation and carry out the necessary work.
Can an accountant help my charity set up a trading subsidiary?
Yes, an accountant can guide you through the process of establishing a trading subsidiary, which is often used to carry out non-charitable trading activities. They will advise on the legal structure, Corporation Tax implications, and how to transfer profits to the charity to maximise tax efficiency. This ensures your charity remains compliant whilst generating additional income.
How often should my charity review its financial procedures?
It is advisable to review your charity’s financial procedures at least annually, or whenever there are significant changes to your operations or regulations. Regular reviews help identify weaknesses internal controls, ensure that funds are used appropriately, and keep your accounting records in good order. An accountant can assist with this review and recommend improvements.
What records must a charity keep for VAT purposes?
Charities must keep detailed records of all income and expenditure, including VAT on purchases and sales. If your charity is VAT-registered, you need to maintain a VAT account, retainvoices, and record any partial exemption calculations. An accountant can help you set up an efficient record-keeping system and ensure that your VAT returns are accurate and submitted on time.
