SORP 2026 is a reporting update with operational consequences.
Move your charity from assumed readiness to evidenced readiness. We map ESG, lease data, and activity-based tracking into a 90-day implementation roadmap before your year-end finance close.
Why this matters now
Where operational gaps appear
While finance teams maintain the technical accounting definitions, failure to adapt the operating model creates serious risks across data, workflow, and governance. Information is often fragmented across property registers, fundraising contracts, service-delivery teams, and IT risk logs.
Four-question readiness check
Is your charity evidenced ready or assumed ready?
Answer four questions to identify where operational evidence may be fragile. No contact details are required to see your result.
Question 1 of 4
The operational framework
Build reliable records for board assurance.
Three connected workstreams turn reporting requirements into reliable data, repeatable finance workflows, and evidence your leadership can stand behind.
Reporting workflows
Replace manual, fragile, or late processes with repeatable finance-close workflows designed to support clean audit evidence.
Output: tested reporting workflowGovernance evidence
Compile board-ready verification checklists covering data privacy, cyber risk, fraud controls, and ethical investment models.
