Frequently Asked Questions
Does every charity need an audit?
Not every charity requires an audit. Whether an audit or an independent examination is needed depends on factors including the charity’s income, legal structure and governing document. We can help you understand which requirements apply to your organisation.
What is the Charities SORP?
The Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) sets out how charities prepare their annual accounts and financial statements. It provides a consistent framework for charity reporting and helps organisations meet their statutory reporting obligations.
Can you help our trustees?
Yes. We advise trustees on governance, financial reporting, internal controls and risk management, helping them meet their legal responsibilities and make informed decisions for their organisation.
Can you advise on Gift Aid, VAT and other charity taxes?
Yes. We advise charities on a range of tax matters, including VAT, Corporation Tax reliefs and Gift Aid, helping organisations understand the reliefs available and meet their compliance obligations.
