The framework for accounting by charities sets out different requirements for different sizes and types of charity. To understand how it applies to your charity, you need to check:
(1)whether or not your charity is also a company; (2)its income for the current financial year; (3)the value of its assets; (4)Whether or not it is required to be registered as a charity.
The Charity Commission's website has a section that deals with the accounting and reporting requirements of charities. That would be a good place for you to start your research.
