celebrates her diploma success
A Shropshire managing director has added another qualification
to her already impressive skills.
Helen Thomas leads the team at Dyke Yaxley Chartered
Accountants, in Old Potts Way, Shrewsbury.
And now she has successfully completed her Diploma in Charity
Accounting which means she can offer specialist advice to charities
all over the county.
"I'm very pleased to have completed this course as it gives me
another skill to help local organisations ensure they are operating
cost-effectively and complying with the tough financial regulations
that the charity sector faces.
"It has been a very interesting and rewarding course, and it
will give me the opportunity to put my specialist knowledge to
excellent use in helping good causes in the local area.
"At Dyke Yaxley, we are committed to supporting local charities
and organisations, and my new skills will be another asset to add
to our services.
"Charities and not-for-profit organisations need to comply with
very specific legal, accountancy and tax legislation, and our team
helps to ease the difficulties these groups have to deal with."
The Dyke Yaxley specialists help charities to prepare accounts
that comply with legislation and accounting standards, and advise
on Gift Aid repayment claims.
They can also prepare annual returns for the Charity Commission,
and help with VAT and tax issues, and organisational
structures.
