Charities

EQ has built a strong reputation for its specialist service to a number of charities, both locally and nationally.

This sector’s constantly changing regulations demands specialist knowledge, and a pro-active approach. The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) was established following the Charities and Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and it is vital that all Scottish Charities and their Trustees are conversant with the ever increasing regulatory environment in which they operate.

We understand that sector specialism is vital and therefore our charity team consists of those who have built up specific knowledge and experience over a number of years. While the team’s experienced audit managers deliver seamless compliance and technical advice, we bring added value with our extended team of experts. We have access to specialist VAT departments which have saved or retrieved significant sums for charity and not-for-profit clients.

Our services include:

• Audit of year end accounts in accordance with International Standards on Auditing;

• Assistance with grant claims and applications;

• Advice on accounting systems and internal controls;

• Advising on the implications of new legislation or accounting practices in advance of implementation;

• Providing assistance and guidance to trustees regarding their responsibilities under charities legislation and the SORP;

• Advising on the merger or break-up of charitable organisations; and

• Independent examinations and audit exemption reports for charities where applicable.
