Work in Charities

We advise trustees of charities on their powers and duties and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate and keep them up to date with proposed changes and developments.

The new Charities SORP 2000 (statement of recommended practice) came into effect on 1 January 2001 and is applicable to all accounting periods starting on or after that date.  We advise our clients on how best to comply.

We advise on all aspects of fundraising ventures, including tax issues, whether undertaken by charities or their subsidiary companies, commercial participators or professional fundraisers.

We advise on setting up new charities, obtaining charitable status and the registration process.  We deal with both the establishment and maintenance of both grant-making and functional charities.
