Our Services
Charities
With growing pressure from the National Lottery and a string of high profile charity fraud investigations, public confidence in the sector has been weakened. Our aim is to guide clients through the maze of legislation and deliver solid financial reporting to reinforce their reputation. We have first hand experience of the problems you face as a number of our partners are Trustees of charitable organisations.
Charities operate within a complex legal framework and are being regulated for the first time this year by The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) who is the independent registrar and regulator. The have created a Scottish Charity Register and have the power of enquiry and intervention, amongst other controls. Our staff know what their expectations are and will help you to meet their criteria.
In March 2005, the Charity Commission issued a revised Statement of Recommended Practice : Accounting and Reporting for Charities (SORP). The SORP sets out the requirements for the preparation of charity Accounts and the content of the Trustees’ Annual Report. Once again, we understand how these changes will effect you and can advise you accordingly.
We act for a diverse cross- section of the charities sector including –
- Charitable trusts
- Churches
- Clubs and associations
- Schools
- Voluntary organisations
