Title: The charity treasurer's handbook
Description: One of the biggest challenges for anyone faced with responsibility in a charity is getting to grips with the rules on finance, particularly all the special requirements under charity law. In a format short enough to read in a couple of evenings, this handbook covers the key principles for virtually all the main issues in charity accounting and finance. This 3rd edition is fully amended to cover legal changes up to spring 2010, and updated for several key changes in charity accounting over the years 2008 - 2010. Containing plenty of helpful examples, this guide is suitable for voluntary sector workers with little or no accounting experience, those from other sectors seeking a rapid update on charity accounting and students on third sector courses. This book includes: new 2009 financial thresholds for charity accounts in England and Wales; new accounting regime under the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 - including issue for UK-wide charities; new thresholds for Scottish charities taking effect in 2011; likely future changes as charity accounting moves closer to international financial reporting; updated guidance on charity trading; updated contact addresses; updated implementation dates.
