Frequently asked questions
Why do charities need specialist accountants rather than general practitioners?
Charities must follow the Charities SORP, manage restricted and unrestricted funds, and meet Charity Commission and HMRC requirements. Specialist accountants understand fund accounting, Gift Aid, VAT reliefs and independent examination rules. They help trustees avoid penalties, protect tax reliefs and present transparent accounts. General practitioners may lack this niche knowledge, so choosing a charity-focused professional reduces risk and improves compliance.
What qualifications should I look for in a charity accountant?
Look for members of ACCA, ICAEW or AAT, as these bodies enforce strict standards and continuing professional development. Many charity specialists also hold the Diploma in Charity Accounting. Check that the firm is regulated and experienced with Charities SORP, HMRC filings and independent examinations. Verified listings on AccountingFirms make it easier to compare credentials and choose a qualified professional.
How can an accountant help with Gift Aid and HMRC claims?
An experienced accountant ensures Gift Aid claims are accurate, eligible and fully documented. They review donor records, confirm declarations are valid and submit claims to HMRC correctly. They also advise on Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme and higher-rate relief. This maximises income whilst reducing the risk of HMRC enquiries, penalties or repayments, helping charities retain vital funding.
Do charities need to submit tax returns or pay Corporation Tax?
Most charities are exempt from Corporation Tax on charitable income, but they may still need to submit a tax return or claim exemptions. Trading income, property income and certainvestments can create tax liabilities. An accountant can assess whether a return is required, prepare it accurately and correspond with HMRC, ensuring exemptions are claimed correctly and deadlines are met.
What is an independent examination and does my charity need one?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of charity accounts, required when income exceeds the audit threshold but falls below the audit requirement. It must be performed by a qualified person, often an ACCA, ICAEW or AAT member. An accountant can confirm whether an examination or audit applies and carry out the work to Charity Commission standards.
How does AccountingFirms help me choose the right accountant?
AccountingFirms was established in 2019 and built by ICAEW and ACCA accountants. The directory lets users browse local firms, compare specialisms and check regulatory memberships. Trustees can review charity accounting experience, read listings and connect with verified professionals. This saves time, improves confidence and helps charities find an accountant suited to their size, structure and objectives.
