Charities- Salaries of employees over £58,000

Thank you for your email to the Charity Commission.

We aim to give you a full and clear response within fifteen working days
from receipt of your email. We will ensure that our response is both
accurate and appropriate.

This is the same service standard we apply to letters and faxes but
Charity Commission Direct will usually respond to general email enquiries
within five working days where there is no need for referral to one of our
specialist operational teams.

If we cannot give you a full response within fifteen days, we will contact
you and let you know the reasons why this is not possible and indicate
when we expect to be in a position to give you a full response. We will
also let you have the name and contact number of the person dealing with
your query.

You can find the Commission*s contact details on our website at

Os na fedrwn roi ymateb llawn o fewn pymtheg diwrnod, fe wnawn gysylltu â

Dear Maggie,

Thank you for your email of 21 February 2011.

I can confirm that there is no legal requirement to disclose the salary of
any member of staff. However, a charity subject to a statutory audit
should show in the notes to their accounts the number of employees whose
payments for the year fell within each band of **10,000 from **60,000
pa, upwards.

For further information on exactly what needs to be disclosed in the notes
to a charity***s accounts I have enclosed a link to the Statement Of
Recommended Practice on Accounting And Reporting By Charities:

I hope this has been of assistance to you.

Very often the quickest way to answer any enquiries that you have is to
look on our website, especially the [2]frequently asked questions covering
the main issues that we are being asked about. You will also find the
latest news, together with our publications and guidance. You can even
[3]sign up for email updates.

Yours sincerely

Lynda Harper

Dear Maggie X

Thank you for your email.

With regard to your email: The limited resources available to the
Commission do not allow us to check the 52,000 sets of accounts submitted
to us each year for SoRP compliance. Our priority is to make the accounts
submitted to us promptly and freely available for the public to view on
our website. This gives accounts a high level of exposure to
scrutiny. If accounting errors are then brought to our attention,
accounts are scrutinised and dealt with in accordance with the
Commission***s risk and proportionality framework. Non compliance by
omission or design would prompt regulatory action if the error or omission
had the potential to significantly mislead the user of the accounts about
the activities or resources of the charity. In addition to this, checks
for significant misclassifications are undertaken using accounting
information submitted in annual returns. Where necessary, errors are
taken up with charities. Companies House are able to charge fees for
access to information and apply penalties for late filing. The Commission
does not currently have access to these options and its role and resources
cannot be directly compared to those of Companies House.

I hope this information is of assistance
