Are the trustees exposed?
Reserves policy, restricted funds, conflict-of-interest register, what the regulator looks at.
/ 03
Is the annual return ready?
Top 10 line items the Charity Commission rejects on most often.
/ Who this is for

/ FAQ · before you ask
What people ask before they use CharitySnap.
01 Does it work for CICs as well as charities? +
Yes, Community Interest Company-specific rules (asset lock, dividend cap, CIC34 report) are baked in.
02 Will it find historic Gift Aid we can claim back? +
Yes, HMRC permits backdated claims up to 4 years for charities. CharitySnap surfaces the likely backdated total.
03 Is the trustee exposure check accurate? +
It is a screening, not a legal opinion. Material flags should be reviewed with a charity solicitor, CharitySnap names the questions worth asking.
04 Can we use it without the treasurer's accounts package? +
Yes, CharitySnap accepts manual input for charities still on spreadsheets, with prompts for the lines that matter most.
