Restricted vs unrestricted funds must be tracked separately. Grant income recognition depends on conditions and performance obligations. Reporting follows SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) in the UK or the equivalent regimes in other jurisdictions. Boards and trustees expect particular formats. And public-benefit reporting is a real obligation, not a marketing exercise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:17px;line-height:1.6;margin-bottom:18px;\">We work with UK charities (registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales or OSCR for Scotland), US 501(c)(3) organisations, UAE non-profit foundations and Canadian and Australian charitable entities.

In a charity ledger, every pound carries a condition. Unrestricted funds can be spent on any charitable purpose. Restricted funds can only be spent on the purpose the donor specified, and unspent balances carry forward as a visible obligation. Endowment funds cannot be spent at all, or only their income can. Designated funds are unrestricted money the trustees have earmarked, which looks like a restriction but is not one and can be undesignated by the same trustees who created it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:17px;line-height:1.6;margin-bottom:18px;\">That structure has to exist in the bookkeeping from day one, not be reconstructed at the year end. Each fund needs its own income, its own direct costs, and a defensible basis for the share of support costs allocated to it. Get the allocation wrong and a grant appears overspent, which triggers a clawback conversation with the funder, or appears underspent, which weakens the next application. We set the fund structure and the allocation basis up front, agree it with the trustees in writing, and hold it steady across years so comparatives mean something.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:17px;line-height:1.6;margin-bottom:18px;\">The reporting obligations then stack by size.
