This Order amends provisions of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (“the Act”) relating to the preparation and examination of charities’ accounts.
Article 2 substitutes the sum specified in section 64(3) of the Act so as to increase the threshold at or below which charity trustees can elect to prepare a receipts and payments account and a statement of assets and liabilities instead of a statement of accounts under section 64(1) (accruals accounts). Article 2 also increases the threshold in section 65(3) and (4) above which a charity must have its accounts independently examined by a member of one of the bodies specified in section 65(4) or (5) of the Act. The threshold for an audit of charity accounts is unchanged.
