Future proofing your charity for 2026

Hosted by Crowe and Quilter Cheviot, we bringing together expertise in charity accounting and investment management. Designed for charity leaders and Trustees, this event will cover areas shaping the sector in 2026.

What we will cover

Crowe

The major updates to the Charities SORP will reshape how charities recognise income and account for leases effective for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2026. We'll cover developments in accounting and reporting for charities resulting from the changes to Charities SORP and FRS 102.

• Income recognition made clearer:  when to recognise grants, donations, and contracts under the new rules.
• Leases on the balance sheet: what this means for your charity and how to prepare.
• New requirement for the Trustees' Report: including the new tiers for reporting.

Quilter Cheviot

Investing with confidence in a turbulent world. With rising geopolitical tensions, shifting economic priorities, and ongoing market turbulence, charity trustees face increasing complexity in managing their investments, especially amid the financial pressures of inflation and rising costs.

• The big picture: what global conflicts, sanctions and trade barriers mean for markets, and the forces likely to shape returns in 2026.
• Market behaviour: why markets appear disconnected from geopolitical events.
• Macro themes to watch out for: geopolitical realignment, digital transformation, changing demographics, government debt and persistent inflation.
• Responsible investments: how, if at all, has corporate behaviour changed in response to the Trump Administration’s hostile attitude towards ESG?
