Charities
At Jackson & Jackson, we're aware that Charities (and other not-for-profit organisations) have unique accounting and reporting needs. 

We believe that timing and accurate financial reporting is crucial, due in part of the use of financial statements in preparing grant applications, cost reports and in fundraising activities. 

We maintain our qualifications to perform audits in accordance with current Auditing Standards.  Accounts are prepared in accordance with the latest SORP (SORP2005), and comply with both the Charities Acts and, where applicable, Companies Acts.  

However, we regard the audit and accounts as an opportunity to get to know each organisation inside out, and to identify opportunities to help your charity improve systems, controls and management, and to generally contribute to its success.

In addition, our end of year Charity Review, carried out at no extra charge, will make sure that your charity grows at the rate you want it to.
