Non-Profit ERP for United Kingdom

Charities in the United Kingdom are regulated by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, depending on where they are registered. Charities with income above 250,000 pounds must file annual returns and accounts with the relevant regulator. Those with income above 1 million pounds (or 250,000 pounds with total assets above 3.26 million) must have their accounts independently examined or audited and prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) applicable to their accounting framework, either FRS 102 SORP or the SORP for smaller charities applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

Fundraising regulation operates through a co-regulatory system involving the Fundraising Regulator, which administers the Code of Fundraising Practice. Charities conducting public fundraising must register with the Fundraising Regulator and comply with the code, which covers areas including direct marketing, street fundraising, legacy fundraising, and online giving. Gift Aid allows charities to reclaim basic rate income tax on donations from UK taxpayers, currently at 25p for every pound donated, but requires the charity to hold a valid Gift Aid declaration from each donor and submit claims to HMRC through the Charities Online service.

Grant-funded charities must track expenditure against funder conditions, which may specify eligible cost categories, match funding requirements, and outcome reporting formats. Government grants and contracts awarded under public procurement rules carry additional obligations including transparency, value for money demonstration, and social value reporting under the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012.

Yukti provides charities with fund accounting that follows the Charities SORP structure with income and expenditure categorized by fund type (restricted, unrestricted, endowment) and analyzed across charitable activities, fundraising costs, and governance costs. Gift Aid management tracks donor declarations, calculates claim amounts including small donation scheme claims under GASDS, and submits claims through HMRC Charities Online integration. The grant management module tracks expenditure against funder budgets with per-grant reporting and outcome measurement. The trustee management module maintains governance records, tracks terms of office, manages declarations of interest, and supports the annual return preparation. Volunteer management tracks hours, training, and DBS check expiry dates. The fundraising module monitors compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice and supports Fundraising Regulator registration requirements.
