Charities

The environment in which charities operate is experiencing constant and rapid change. This leads to opportunities for charities to develop but can also lead to increased administrative and regulatory burdens.

The Charities Act 2006 was passed by Parliament in November 2006 and some parts came into force on 27th February 2007 with the rest coming into force during the early part of 2008.

Smaller charities will no longer require permission from the Charity Commission in certain circumstances e.g. changing their governing document.

The Charity Commission continues to step-up its monitoring of charity accounts and its programme of review visits.

At Robertshaw Myers, we have a wide range of experience in both preparing and auditing Charity financial statements and advising Trustees in their duties. We can help with understanding and dealing with the regulatory burdens that the charity faces. We can help the Trustees to understand the changes and requirements of the new Charities Act and how they affect the charity. 

Charities are bound by more regulatory and compliance obligations than most entities, so you need an adviser who has the necessary expertise and can operate at affordable rates is crucial.  Our team has the essential experience, skills and resources to fully appreciate your detailed and regulated accounting needs.
