Trustees of Charities in recent years have come under close scrutiny in the way they perform their duties and in the way they report their activities as trustees. In recent years the Charity Commissioners have assumed substantial regularity powers and the accounting standards for charities. The charity accounts are now prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard, applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FR102) and the Charities SORP (FRS102). The governing acts are the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
