The number of charities which require independent examinations has significantly increased in recent years, resulting in many firms now undertaking such work.
The Independent Examination for Charities module has been developed to enable the accountant and / or examiner to satisfy the accounting and examination requirements relating to charities; and provide your charity client with a comprehensive but cost-effective service.
This toolkit (which covers charities registered in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) provides you with all the necessary guidance and work programmes, including the additional work required by the Charity Commission when consolidated accounts are examined, to help ensure an effective and efficient examination is performed.
