Income

A Charity Cheques Account is opened for each client to collect investment income, reclaim tax and make payments to charities in accordance with the Trustees' wishes. Statements of the Account are sent out quarterly, at the end of March, June, September and December each year, or on request.

Accounts and Examination

LCVS will prepare a Trustee's report and accounts for the charity each year. If the charity's annual income or expenditure is large enough, we will arrange for its accounts to be audited or independently examined and submitted to the Inland Revenue and Charity Commission, as required.
