Accounting and Bookkeeping for Charities in Leamington Spa
Charities must keep accurate financial records, file tax returns and, depending on their size, submit these to external scrutiny. Charitable organisations should also ensure that they are compliant with the complex tax rules and regulations set out by HMRC.
There are particular requirements for most charities to:
- Prepare charity accounts and an annual report
- Maintain full and accurate accounting records
- Submit an annual return, annual report and accounts to the Charity Commission (and, for limited company charities, to
Companies House).
- Arrange an audit or independent examination (dependent on size)
Not all accountants understand the complex rules and regulations regarding charity accounts and audits. It is therefore important to seek expert advice from an accountancy firm specialising in the charities sector - this is where Michael Harwood & Co come in.
