The information that a charity needs to record has changed for those charities where their financial year ends on or after <span class=\"__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date\">1 January 2018.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The new annual return will focus on gathering financial and regulatory information. Charities will have to use the new Update Charity Details service to amend registered details as these will no longer be a part of the annual return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">These changes are aimed at promoting transparency and accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">So it is probably prudent to start assessing now whether your charity needs to collect\/record data differently so that you are ready when it is your turn to complete your Annual Return and use the Update Charity Details service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">BWB solicitors have put together a useful guide for charities outlining the changes.
