Accountants for Charities | Independent Examination
Charity Law requires most charities with a turnover over £25,000 to carry out an external scrutiny of their accounts. The primary objective is to maintain transparency and public confidence in the work of charities and the use of their resources.
A charity is eligible to have an independent examination instead of an audit if the charity’s gross income is:
- more than £25,000, but not more than £1 million, provided that
- if its gross income is more than £250,000, its gross assets (fixed assets plus current assets) are £3.26 million or less.
If the charity’s governing document, a funder or the Charity Commission require an audit, the charity will not be able to choose an independent examination.
