Products featured in this release
New Charity Accounts add-on now available!
Our exciting new product release for 2025 provides the ability to prepare SORP-compliant accruals accounts for Charitable companies (limited by guarantee), Charitable Incorporated Organisations and Charitable Unincorporated Associations.
Existing Accounts Production customers will recognise the ease of use, customisable reporting and suite-wide integration they have been accustomed to in the core product.
Unlimited funds
and activities
For flexibility, and to cater for various sizes and structures of charity, there is no restriction on the number of funds (restricted, unrestricted and endowment) and activities that can be prepared, as well as easy fund and activity maintenance.
Charity specific disclosures
In addition to the standard FRS 102 notes, charity specific notes such as reference and administrative details, Report of the Trustees, Independent Examiners Report, SOFA, Cash flow statements and other charity specific disclosures are included.
Charity supporting reports
We have added the ability to show funds and activity breakdowns in both the trial balance and nominal ledger to allow efficient review of the accounts, analyse where entries have been generated from, and adjust and correct any figures accordingly.
Simplified workflow
and easy data entry
As well as our traditional posting batch, now updated to allow for funds and activities to be set against a posting, our new accounts-style posting batch provides a view which categorises the postings as they would be displayed in the report, providing the familiar layout of the SOFA and Balance Sheet, with the ability to allocate postings for any of the funds and charitable activities.
Enhanced drill down for charities
Drill down from figures on the charity accounts directly to the constitute totals for the fund and activity totals and edit them directly from the source entries and update the report.
Full suite integration
The Charity Accounts add-on benefits from integration with other TaxCalc applications such as attaching accounts to the CT600, signing documents electronically, automatically updating jobs and saving reports directly into Document Manager.
Practice Manager & Workflow
New charity
client types
Charity client types of Charitable company (limited by guarantee), Charitable Incorporated Organisation and Charitable Unincorporated Association have been added to Practice Manager and can now be used across the application.
New Independent Examination
activity type
To optimise performance when viewing work as the volume of users, clients and work items increases, a new page view option controls the number of items being displayed on the screen at any one time; resulting in much faster screen loading times.
Supporting MTD for Income Tax
MTD quarterly update periods can now be monitored and managed effectively through Practice Manager and WorkFlow as we have included a new Service, Activity Type and Work Statuses. We have also created new reporting fields for the different types of MTD business income.
