How charities can manage the burden of compliance

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.
