MJH Accountants Limited for Registered Charities

The team at MJH Accountants have a social conscience and respect how the work of charities enhance the local community and the lives of those living in the locality.

What can MJH Accountants do for Trustees and Registered Charities? Our aim is to assist trustees in meeting their obligations under the Charities Act 2016.

The Charities Act 2016 came into effect on 1 November 2016. It is the Act of Parliament that sets out how all charities in England and Wales are registered and regulated. It replaces most of the Charities Acts 1992, 1993 and 2006, 2011; all of the Recreational Charities Act 1958.

The 2016 Act is intended to make the law easier to understand. The new Act brings with it changes to fundraising. The changes help charities to demonstrate their commitment to protecting donors and the public. Find out more on the GOV.UK website.

What if your Charity is incorporated? Charity accounts need to be completed and filed with Companies House within certain deadlines set out in the Charities Act 2016. For more information on the Charities Act 2016, click here to access the Charity Commission website.

We are also able to offer Charities assistance with Management accounts and forecasting; accounting system implementation and management advice; book-keeping services; assistance and guidance with VAT / PAYE compliance and enquiries etc.; reports in support of returns or claims, e.g. insurance charity certificates, government claims, etc.; general advice on financial matters. However, it may be necessary to refer you to an IFA; due diligence for special purposes, e.g., acquisitions of other businesses, or examination of specific aspects of your business.

For year-end accounts and an independent examination of those accounts, Charities can expect to pay in the region of £55.00 + VAT a month. Please contact mark@mjhaccountants.co.uk to arrange for a personalised quote for your Charity. Payment terms are in line with our standard terms and conditions of 30 days.
