Hodgsons

Chartered Accountants, Cornwall

To help your organisation meet its responsibilities, we can:

Help you choose the right structure for your organisation. Several types of legal entity may well be possible, and we can guide you through the different options to help identify the one that’s best for your particular purposes. Once this is done, we can then help you set it up and maintain the correct records
Prepare or check your accounts to make sure that they comply with the accounting rules applicable to your organisation. In the case of charities, these can be quite complex
Advise you on how to ensure your organisation takes full advantage of the tax benefits available. These can easily be lost if the legal framework for its activities is not correctly structured. In particular, trading and VAT can give rise to substantial liabilities if not handled properly
Help you set in place good practice for corporate governance, which will reduce the risk to the individuals involved and make it easier to recruit others. It’s essential to understand the correct procedures for trustees, directors and officers. People often take on these roles because they support the aims of the organisation, but are then alarmed by their statutory responsibilities
