Training Programme

ACIE offers training in Charity Accounting and Independent Examination at three different levels.

• Introductory - This is a three day course (plus the equivalent of two days homework) aimed at people wanting to carry out independent examination of charities with incomes of under £100,000. It assumes no accounting background; deals mainly with receipts and payments accounting with some simple accruals accounting; and is particularly suited to volunteer examiners.
  There are no courses currently organised. If you wish to register an interest in future courses please contact us.
  
  
• Intermediate - This is a two day course (plus one days homework) aimed at people who want to carry out an independent examination of charities with incomes of up to £250,000. It assumes either previous attendance at the introductory course or familiarity with basic accruals accounting. Notes from the introductory course may be recommended reading for some participants.
