Charity Audits and Independent Examinations in London

Does your charity require an audit? This will depend mainly on how much income the charity receives. The income limit varies according to the type of charity as follows:

• All charities where incoming resources exceed £1m, or incoming resources are more than £250k and gross assets are more than £3.26m require an audit
• All charities registered in England and Wales which do not require an audit, do require an independent examination if incoming resources are greater than £25k. Charities in Scotland will always require an independent examination if not audited
• where income is over £250,000 the independent examiner must be suitably qualified (if registered in England & Wales). For charities registered in Scotland, all independent examiners must be suitably qualified

There are many points to take into account, particularly regarding total assets, and the rules can be confusing.

We can help you to ascertain whether or not an audit or independent examination is necessary and, if appropriate, our specialist team will also complete this audit/examination.
