Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for charities do?
An accountant for charities prepares annual accounts under the Charities SORP, manages independent examinations or audits, and advises trustees on governance and compliance. They also handle Gift Aid claims, VAT reliefs, and Corporation Tax matters arising from trading. Their role ensures charitable funds are reported accurately and that regulatory obligations to the Charity Commission are met without delay.
Why should a charity use an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants have completed rigorous professional training and are regulated, meaning they follow strict ethical and technical standards. For charities, this ensures accounts are prepared correctly under the Charities SORP and that HMRC submissions, including Gift Aid and tax returns, are accurate. Regulated status also provides recourse if standards are not met.
Do charities need to submit a tax return to HMRC?
Most charities are exempt from Corporation Tax on charitable income, but they may still need to submit a tax return to HMRC if they have trading income, rental income, or other non-exempt sources. Charities must also claim Gift Aid correctly. An accountant can confirm whether a return is required and prepare it accurately to avoid penalties.
What is an independent examination for a charity?
An independent examination is a lighter-touch review of charity accounts, required when income exceeds the threshold for receipts and payments accounts but falls below the audit threshold. It must be carried out by a qualified person, often an AAT, ACCA, or ICAEW member. The examiner checks that accounts are consistent with records and comply with charity regulations.
How do I choose an accountant for my charity in Yarm?
Start by checking accreditation with ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, then confirm experience with charity accounts and the Charities SORP. Compare providers on AccountingFirms.co.uk by reviewing specialisms and location. Ask about independent examination and audit capability, HMRC compliance support, and familiarity with Gift Aid claims before making a decision.
What records must a charity keep for its accountant?
A charity should retain records of all income and expenditure, bank statements, grant agreements, donation receipts, Gift Aid declarations, and minutes of trustee meetings. These documents support the annual accounts and any independent examination or audit. Accurate record-keeping also helps the accountant prepare tax returns and respond to HMRC or Charity Commission queries efficiently.
