Changes to financial reporting (SORP) came into effect for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. This means charities need to adapt to a new way of reporting and operating. Are you ready?

Now is the time to get clear on what’s changing and what it means for your charity. Understanding the new requirements will help you stay confident, meet expectations, and keep making a difference in your community.

Alongside the new SORP requirements, many charities are reshaping their activities and income streams to stay financially sustainable and continue their vital work. VAT and Corporation Tax (CT) are key considerations when making these changes.

That’s why our upcoming event, led by our Audit & Accounting and Tax specialists, offers practical guidance on the new SORP requirements, as well as VAT and CT compliance. You’ll gain clear, actionable insight you can put into practice straight away.
