Author Description

This handbook provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the wide variety of issues that require consideration in connection with charity fundraising. A number of recent initiatives are covered, for example, the measures introduced by the Government in respect of Gift Aid donations, the alignment of their approach to the regulation of trading by charities by the Inland Revenue and the Charity Commission, and the radical reform of the National Lottery. Written by a respected authority in the field, the book serves not only as a useful guide to best practice, but also as a convenient source of reference to the key components, such as the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2000) for accounting for charities, the Data Protection Act 2000 and the Licensing Act 2003, as well as providing a full explanation of tax and VAT implications.
