How charities can manage the burden of compliance
Charity may not begin at home, but in these difficult economic times, it is vital that charities are able to operate cost effectively in order to survive.
The sector has witnessed a major increase in the burden of compliance. Statements of Recommended Practice (SORPS) continue to be regularly updated. Financial statements have to be prepared in a special format. Trustees have a need for regular and up-to-date advice and information.

Our advice and our input will help assure trustees comply with the latest regulations.
