Why Charities Need Specialist Accountants
Charity accounting follows a distinct regulatory framework that general accountants may not fully grasp. From fund accounting and restricted income tracking to SORP-compliant reporting and Charity Commission annual returns, charities face obligations that differ significantly from commercial businesses.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with charities and not-for-profit organisations across England, providing structured financial support that meets both legal duties and funder expectations. Our team ensures every submission is accurate, timely and fully compliant.
Charity Accounting Built Around Transparency
Trustees carry personal responsibility for their charity’s financial health, and that demands more than basic bookkeeping. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares SORP-compliant accounts, manages Gift Aid claims, tracks restricted and unrestricted funds and files returns to the Charity Commission.
Whether your charity requires an independent examination, a full statutory audit or ongoing management accounts, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your governance needs, keeping your reporting obligations fully covered throughout the financial year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions trustees and charity managers ask about specialist accounting support.
How does charity accounting differ?
Charities must follow the SORP reporting framework, track restricted and unrestricted funds separately, file annual returns with the Charity Commission and prepare trustees’ reports each year.
Do small charities need accountants?
Yes. Professional support ensures Gift Aid claims are maximised, annual returns are filed correctly and your accounts meet Charity Commission standards, reducing the risk of compliance errors.
What is an independent examination?
An independent examination is external scrutiny required for charities with income between 25,000 and 1 million pounds, providing assurance without the cost of a full statutory audit.
How does ABM handle Gift Aid?
We manage Gift Aid registration, maintain donor declaration records, prepare claims for HMRC submission and ensure your charity recovers the full 25 percent tax relief on eligible donations.
What is SORP compliance?
The Statement of Recommended Practice sets out how charities prepare annual accounts under FRS 102. SORP compliance is mandatory for charities using accrual-based accounting in the UK.
Can ABM support charities nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves charities across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering the same standard of specialist accounting support to organisations in every region.
