Charity Governance: Financial Controls and Data Integrity Saturday 20th April. Birmingham.

Our series of free seminars is coming back to Birmingham on Saturday 20th April at 1pm.

This is an essential event if you are a trustee of a charity, in charge of Gift Aid/HMRC tax relief, or charity accounts reporting. We will be revealing tips you can use in your own charity or trust drawing on specialist knowledge of faith-based organisations in the third sector. This should not to be missed if you are a clergyman, priest, pastor or run a ministry, faith-based charity or trust.

We will be talking about how to safely manage Gift Aid and the best ways to ensure compliance is met. We will give tips on charity accounting and maximising your church or charity’s income potential. We will discuss the Gift Aid Small Donation Scheme (GASDS) and how to navigate a HMRC audit.

You will also gain useful insights into how your charity’s legal position could affect your ability to retrospectively claim gift aid.
