The new 4th edition of this handbook has been extensively revised to cover the new Charities Act 2006, the 2005 Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, and recent changes to the taxation of charities. It will provide you with all the relevant information necessary for effective charity management, as well as practical assistance in dealing with problems that are likely to arise in forming and running a charity. Written in a non-technical and accessible way, it is intended to be a first point of reference for administrators and their professional advisers, especially in relation to finance-related matters. The book covers a wide range of topics, in alphabetical order, from accounting and auditing matters to VAT, with all the relevant information in between.
