Charity accounts query

Didn't find your answer?

When filing online Charity accounts at Companies House, do you use the same template as the Audit Exempt abbreviated accounts?

Okay what do you submit then?

Sorry to be blunt, not prepared any charity accounts for years and even though i didn't want to take on the job they are desperate as they need to be submitted by Saturday.

Many thanks

Generally you can't file charity accounts online

You can't file charity accounts online as a rule. Software developers have been exempted from including them in their iXBRL taxonomies and Companies House doesn't offer a template.

You'll need to use the incorporated charity (exempt from scrutiny/independent exam/audit) template from your software provider to generate accounts and then paper file.

You file a PDF - Edited

Of the full SORP compliant company accounts.

Frankly you need to

1 tell them they are going to pay a fine, (it is not your fault they are idiots)

2 consider seriously if you can accept this job if you are not up to date with the legislation

 

EDIT

Sorry, thinking of HMRC query we had on here a few weeks ago.

You should produce one set of full SORP compliant company accounts which go to Ch Com, Co Hse & if asked for HMRC. Ch Com & HMRC will take a pdf, Co Hse need them in the post or by hand.

PDF?

The PDF is for HMRC, if they require a CT Return, surely? The accounts have to be paper filed with Companies House.

Charity Commission...

...are the people the trustees can file a pdf with (as well as paper to Co House), though I'm with Chris on his other two points
