Accounts submission option

There are some templates for these documents on our website in the Receipts and Payments Accounts section. These templates apply to all non-company charities whose gross annual income is less than £250,000 and where there is no requirement within the charity's governing document or by funders to prepare accrued accounts.

We recommend that you send us the required documentation online.

Option 1: Upload accounts

1. Click 'Upload file' and choose the document you are going to upload. Please note that if you attempt to upload an extremely large file using OSCR Online, it may take a long time or fail completely.
2. Once your file has processed, the file name will appear. You can then choose a tag for the file (Accounts, External Scrutiny Report, Trustees' Annual Report or Other).
3. You can then click 'Upload another file' to continue adding all your documents.
4. Once you have added all the required files, tick the acknowledgement checkbox and proceed to the Declaration.

Option 2: Unable to upload accounts

If you are unable to upload your accounts, please click on the button to confirm that you will post a copy of the charity's signed accounts

If you choose to post your documents, we must receive them within 28 days of the online annual return submission. We will mark the date received into our office as the submission date. This means that we must receive the accounts into our office within 9 months of the accounting year end date, or the submission will show as overdue.

It is your responsibility to make sure we receive the documents. Submitting your documents online will ensure that they are received and the submission does not show as overdue.
