Typical challenges

What matters most in Associations & foundations

01

Statutes and bookkeeping duty

Your statutes and the law define how you must keep your books. Larger associations face full accounting obligations, not just a simple cash list.

02

Statutory audit

Above certain size thresholds a statutory audit is mandatory. Knowing when it kicks in, and preparing for it — avoids last-minute scrambles.

03

Charitable status and tax exemption

Tax exemption for charitable purpose has to be applied for and maintained. The wrong activities or distributions can put it at risk.

04

Volunteer board, donations and dues

Volunteer-run bodies still have to account properly for donations, membership dues and expense reimbursements to keep their status clean.

Does our association need an audit?

It depends on your size and statutes — above legal thresholds a statutory audit is required. We assess whether you fall under the obligation and prepare you for it.

How do we get and keep tax-exempt charitable status?

Exemption is granted for a recognised charitable purpose and pursued without private gain. We help you apply and keep your activities and accounts in line.
