Aim of the Training:
This practical training is designed to enable trustees and managers with no accounting knowledge at all to be able to understand the essential details of a set of charity accounts and the main reporting requirements.

Content:

  • What documents are included in a set of accounts and what they mean 
  • Understanding the technical terms 
  • The difference between the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and the Balance Sheet and which information in each you should pay attention to. 
  • How entries impact on Cash Flow 
  • Reviewing if the charity has enough cash and other funds to meet day to day requirements 
  • The three conditions that must be fulfilled for income to be treated as income in the accounts 
  • The accounting treatment of Capital Expenditure and Depreciation 
  • The allocation of 'overheads' to other headings in the SOFA 
  • Restricted and Unrestricted Funds 
  • Understanding from the accounts what Funds the charity has available to distribute 
  • Key figures to look at when analysing accounts 
  • Notes to the accounts - what's in them 
  • The Audit Report - what wording to look for - and one exception that is acceptable 
  • The Trustees Report - what in particular you need to pay attention to 
  • VAT - the essential elements you should know 

Training Format 

The training will be very interactive and trustees and managers will be encouraged to ask questions so as to increase their understanding 
We will assume that delegates have no knowledge of accounting.
