Dear Ms Graham
Evidence on Draft Charities Bill —
Clause 22
I have been in practise for some 20 years working
almost exclusively for charities and I welcome the new Draft Charities
Bill which I believe will benefit charities generally.
I also welcome the proposal to allow charities to
have an independent examination of
their accounts up to £500,000 income and to
require examiners of larger charities to have
a relevant qualification.
However, I am concerned that people like myself who
have been admitted as Full Members of the Association of Charity
Independent Examiners, and recognised with a Domain of Competence
to cover independent examinations of "Any charity in England
and Wales up to the legal limit for IE" have not, as yet,
been included in the list of relevant qualifications in the Bill.
In order to be admitted to the MACTB qualification
with this Domain I had to demonstrate extensive knowledge and
experience of charity accounting and the Charities SORP and
the duties of independent examiners. It would be most unfortunate
to omit qualified Full Members of the only professional
body specifically concerned with charity independent examining.
I do hope the Committee will therefore propose amending
clause 22 accordingly.
