Receipts and Payments Work Pack
The Receipts and Payments Work Pack applies to all charities whose gross annual income is less than £100,000 and where there is no requirement within the charity's constitution to prepare accrued accounts and the charity trustees do not wish to do so.
OSCR has designed the work pack to help charities - especially smaller charities - who may not have the resources to employ the services of a professional accountant to prepare annual accounts. The work pack assists charity trustees to fulfil their good governance responsibilities by providing an outline of those areas that must be covered in the Annual Report .
