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...
