Charities
Charities and not-for-profit organisations form a major part of our practice and represent an area of work for which we are particularly well known. We have experienced specialists with a strong understanding of the legal and accounting framework within which charities have to operate and can help trustees of charities to comply with or deliver the following:
- Public accountability: the annual report and audited account
- Controls: effective procedures.
- Management information: appropriate reporting systems.
- Strategic development: an achievable plan.
- Tax guidance: maximising the benefits and minimising the burdens of the direct tax and VAT systems.
- Benchmarking and Social Audit: demonstrating efficiency and effectiveness of the charity in achieving its objectives.
Having so many clients in the sector gives us a depth and breadth of experience that can be brought to bear to help you to measure your organisation's performance against that of others working in the same or a related field. We act for educational organisations, religious bodies, grant making trusts and foundations, welfare charities, environmental charities, healthcare charities and arts organisations.
