NFP Audits and Accounting Newcastle
Not-for-Profits need to prove financial accountability to meet transparency expectations. Without structures in place to demonstrate reliable accounting practices, charity organisations will not get the community support they need to succeed. Juggling these requirements can be challenging. But peace of mind is achievable with the help of Pitcher Partners Newcastle and Hunter.
A deeper understanding of your business
NFPs must manage their accounts accurately and report end of year financial information to the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission (ACNC).
Going beyond these formal standards, organisations have further responsibilities to the community. Not-for-Profits need to prove financial accountability to meet transparency expectations. Without structures in place to demonstrate reliable accounting practices, charity organisations will not get the community support they need to succeed. Juggling these requirements can be challenging.
Not-for-Profit and specialist club accountants should manage your organisation’s accounting practices as they would any other enterprise’s to ensure the highest standards are met. This insight starts with addressing common reporting mistakes made by NFPs like:
- Miscalculating key figures in the annual information statement.
- Incorrectly reporting unrelated financial information about the charity.
- Failing to reference key legislation such as the ACNC Act and other mandatory accounting standards in financial reports.
Medium-to-large sized Not-for-Profits are required to submit financial reports that have been reviewed or audited by a registered professional. But auditing your organisation’s financials shouldn’t just be seen as a tick-box exercise – expert analysis assures that your NFP is compliant with ACNC requirements.
