Frequently asked questions
What should a charity look for in a specialist accountant?
A charity should seek an accountant with experience in charity SORP, independent examinations, and fund accounting. Membership of ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT indicates regulated expertise. It is also important to confirm the professional understands HMRC rules for gift aid, VAT reliefs, and Corporation Tax obligations affecting charitable organisations.
Do charity accountants help with HMRC compliance and tax returns?
Yes, charity accountants assist with HMRC compliance, including gift aid claims, VAT returns, and Corporation Tax for trading arms. They prepare and file tax returns accurately, ensuring charities meet deadlines and avoid penalties.

What is the difference between an independent examination and an audit for charities?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review required for smaller charities, typically conducted by a qualified accountant. An audit is a more detailed statutory review required for larger charities above certaincome thresholds. Both ensure financial statements comply with charity regulations and provide trustees with assurance over financial management.
Why is it important to use an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant for a charity?
ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants are regulated and bound by professional ethics, ensuring high standards in charity accounting. They understand SORP requirements, fund accounting, and trustee reporting. Their expertise helps charities maintain transparency, meet legal duties, and make informed financial decisions that support long-term sustainability.
