Charities

We understand what sets charitable organisations apart – creating social value, not profit.

Today we are advisers to charities involved in research, health, social welfare, education, conservation, citizenship, as well as religious and overseas aid activities.

BDO’s charity unit stands apart, which is why many of the larger UK registered charities are coming to us.  Like our clients, we recognise the importance of personal service delivered by charity specialists.

We are members of key sector and professional groups. In this way we are able to understand and contribute to the research and development of issues affecting our clients, and our pragmatic approach ensures that we see the wider picture, not just the technicalities.

Our services include:

• Audit and taxation
• Strategic planning and management
• Governance
• Internal audit
• Gift aid advice
• Fraud investigation
• Due diligence / merger and training

By working with our clients, we look to solve their problems and anticipate those that may lie ahead.

We will be holding a series of charity seminars (PDF <270KB) in our London office with subjects ranging from risk management to pensions and social housing.

For further information please contact Don Bawtree, Charity Unit Lead Partner or your local BDO adviser.
