Specialist Areas

  1. Charities - Trustees' Responsibilities

    It is often considered an honour to act as a trustee for a
    charity and an opportunity to give something back to the
    community. However, becoming a trustee involves a certain
    commitment and level of responsibility which should not be
    underestimated. We outline the main responsibilities below, with a particular emphasis on accounting and audit requirements.

  2. Money Laundering and the Proceeds of Crime

    Recent times have seen tough new rules introduced to crack down on money laundering and the proceeds of crime. The new rules affect a wide range of people and in this factsheet we consider how your organisation may be affected.

  3. High Value Dealers

    HMRC have been given the responsibility for controlling High
    Value Dealers. We outline below the main requirements of
    the Regulations and the registration process.

  4. Limited Liability Partnerships

    Since 6 April 2001, there is a business vehicle in addition to
    companies, traditional partnerships and sole traders. It is now
    possible to run your business using what is known as a
    Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).

  5. Community Amateur Sports Clubs

    Since April 2002, many local amateur sports clubs have been
    able to register with HMRC as Community Amateur Sports
    Clubs (CASCs) and benefit from a range of tax reliefs
    including Gift Aid.
