Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at frances.howard@aureusaudit.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Choosing an accountant with charity experience and specialist qualifications means you're working with someone who truly understands the sector. They know the regulations, reporting requirements, and pressures charities face, so you can be confident everything is handled correctly and efficiently. More importantly, they can offer practical, relevant advice to help you make the most of your resources, stay compliant, and focus on what really matters - delivering your charitable objectives.


We have a strong understanding of Charity Commission requirements and the Charities SORP, supported by our accountants holdings the Diploma in Charity Accounting. This means you can rely on clear, compliant reporting and practical guidance tailored to the realities of running a charity. We focus on making the technical side straightforward, helping trustees meet their reponsibilties with confidence while ensuring your financial information supports transparancy, funding opportunities, and long-term sustainability.


Frances will be involved throughout every stage, providing consistent support year after year. This continuity means you will always have a familiar point of contact who understands your organisation, helping to keep everything running smoothly, efficiently and in a way that works best for you.


Yes, we can support you with annual accounts, trustees' reports, and all related filings. While the detail of the trustees' report sits with the organisation, we are here to guide you on best practice, structure, and regulatory expectations, helping to ensure everything is clear, compliant, and reflects the charity's work effectively.


Yes, we provide independent examination services. We understand the importance of transparency, accountability, and making the best use of your resources, so our approach is always proportionate, practical and supportive. Alongside meeting regulatory requirements, we aim to give you clear reassurance and helpful insights to support your organisation's ongoing work.


We help UK charities stay compliant by providing practical charity accounting support, clear reporting and guidance for trustees. From annual accounts and charity returns to internal controls and governance matters, we help make sure your charity meets its obligations and has the financial information it needs to make confident decisions.  


Our board consultancy services helps trustees understand their responsibilities and stay focused on good governance, so compliance feels manageable rather than burdensome.


We agree our fees with you upfront, based on the nature and scope of the work involved. This ensures you have full clarity from the outset, with no unexpected surprises.


Our approach is to build long-term relationships, so we aim to keep fees fair and predictable. In most cases, fees will only increase in line with inflation. If your requirements change - for example, due to growth, new activities, or additional support needed - we will always discuss this with you in advance and agree any revised fee together.


Our charity accounting services go beyond compliance by helping trustees gain clearer financial insight, improve governance and make better strategic decisions. Our board consultancy services support charities in managing risk, planning ahead, and using resource more effectively.
