Welcome to Sorpaid.com
The Charity Commission, reflecting the public interest,
now demands that those governing and managing charities
be accountable and transparent, and that trustees
and managers are given suitable training. High standards
of corporate governance and risk management are expected
of Charity trustees.
We, at Peter Brown & Co provide practical solutions
to the demands placed on charity trustees and administrators,
and we provide support and assistance to other accountants
who may need to advise clients in the charity sector,
but do not have the specialised knowledge of the sector
that is required nowadays.
In particular, we can help to meet the accounting
and governance requirements of the Charities Act and
the SORP (ie The Statement of Recommended Practice
for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity
Commissioners).
In some of the areas described below, we provide
the services ourselves – in others, we have
a panel of experts in particular specialisms and geographical
areas that enables us to provide a holistic approach
to the governance of charities, so that we can be
‘the one stop shop’. We help accountants,
trustees and charity administrators with...

and charity trustees and administrators.
As members of the AVN network of accountants, we
are a part of the National Campaign (http://www.thenationalcampaign.co.uk),
whereby members have committed themselves to giving
away £20 million pounds worth of professional
services to UK business and the voluntary sector,
in the form of discounted professional services. Many
services that we provide will reflect a discount representing
our contribution to the National Campaign.
As with all our services, our fees are highly competitive.
Our offices are set in a rural location, and therefore
we have low premises overheads. This means that we
are able to offer the highest quality services, very
often at the lowest price.
