Charities & Independent Examination.
Most small and mid-sized charities don't need an audit — they need an independent examination: a qualified, independent review that gives trustees and the Charity Commission assurance the accounts stack up. We examine charity accounts to the Commission's directions, help trustees keep the books examination-ready through the year, and explain the thresholds plainly so you always know which regime applies.
What's included
- Independent examination of receipts-and-payments and accruals accounts
- Charity Commission annual return support
- Trustee reporting and SORP guidance in plain English
- Gift Aid claims and records
- Bookkeeping set up so examination is a formality, not a fight

Common questions
Does our charity need an audit or an examination?
It depends on income and assets — most charities under the audit thresholds can choose the lighter-touch independent examination. Tell us your numbers and we'll tell you which regime applies, in one email.
