Accounting for charities

Overview

Regular company accounts and charity accounts are very different. They have different financial statements and different laws governing them. Accounting and audit issues in charities are complex and have become increasingly specialised in recent years.

This course demystifies the accounts of charities and ensures you are equipped to deal with the rules and regulations that apply. It gives an overview of charity reporting and highlights some of the pitfalls to avoid when preparing and approving charity financial statements.

This course will enable you to:

• get to grips with the vast and complex rules and regulations governing charities
• prepare a statement of financial activities, a balance sheet and cash flow statement
• understand the difference between the role of the independent examiner and the auditor, and how independent examinations work
• deal with dually registered charities
• remain within the law when dealing with clients that are, potentially, breaking them, and report on matters of material significance.
