Evening
Are we able to carry out accounting for charities?
I have been approached by a charity to a) help them set up charity status and b) oversee their accounts. Currently I have little knowledge in this area but as this is a charity I donate to alot I would like to help them. Would appreciate any books you can recommend on the subject.
It is only a little charity - if it was large I wouldn't consider doing this at all!
Thank you

Yes. We do this. Feel free to email me if you want any advice. I'm by no means an expert but I know the basics.
For once, the HMRC website is very helpful, and the Charities Commission site is also clear. Just read those and you should mostly get what you need
You need form CHA1 to register the charity with HMRC and you register online with the CC (has to have t/o over £5k to reg with CC, but under that you can still reg with HMRC and claim gift aid)
