Charities & Not-for-Profit

Charities in Ireland operate in a regulated environment governed by the Charities Regulatory Authority. At RBK, we have amassed a wealth of experience dealing with the many accounting and financial reporting issues faced by both small and medium sized charities and large national organisations. We provide audit, financial reporting, tax and advisory services to help your organisation fulfil its legal and statutory obligations and to support your board and senior management.

Audit & Financial Reporting

Our audit and financial reporting services include:

Access to experienced professionals with specialist expertise in the charities and not-for-profit sector
Independent assessment and full auditing services. For each audit we undertake, we provide a team of accountants with relevant sector experience led by a partner. While statutory requirements inevitably shape our audit reporting, our teams go that bit further to deliver the very best service
Preparation of your financial statements in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)
Assurance that your organisation’s restricted reserves are appropriately identified and adequately disclosed

Our team adopts a friendly approach, while maintaining the highest degree of professionalism and adherence to technical standards.
