The latest major legislation for the sector in Ireland is the Charities (Amendment) Act 2024 which amends the core Charities Act 2009.  Signed into law in July 2024, it is being introduced on a phased basis.

We at Collins O’Brien appreciate that most charitable organisations are run by volunteers who may not be fully aware of the statutory requirements required by the Charities Acts. Therefore we are here to help our clients to :

• Establish simple and effective accounting systems.
• Establish Internal Control Systems.
• Prepare the annual accounts for filing with the Companies Office.
• Prepare accounts for the AGM in a format that is readable for all members.
• Meet deadlines with the CRO.
• Advise of management of the organisation.

Many of our team are involved in voluntary organisations of one type or another and we appreciate the work that is involved. We actively promote charities whenever possible and it is our general policy to discount fees for Charitable Organisations by 50%.
