Independent Examinations

Hien Le & Co are able to offer independent examinations of small charity accounts and reports, as well as the preparation of these accounts in accordance with provisions of the Company's Act, Charities Act and UK Accounting Standards.

Since April 1^st 2009, If your charity's gross income exceeds £25,000 but does not exceed £500,000 in any financial year, then you require an independent examination.

Charity accounts regulations – gross income thresholds

If you are under the examination threshold we can offer advice on all aspects of running your charity.

An Independent Examination will include:

• Review of the accounting records kept by the charity
• Comparison of the accounts presented with those records
• Consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts

Advantages of an independent examination

An independent examination is a simpler form of scrutiny than an audit but it still provides trustees, funders, beneficiaries, stakeholders and the public with an assurance that the accounts of the charity have been reviewed by an independent person. For this reason charities under the examination threshold often opt for early examination.
