We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming one‑hour technical webinar designed for finance professionals preparing for the transition to the new Charity SORP.

As one of the most significant areas of change driven by the updates to FRS 102 and the move toward internationalisation, lease accounting and on balance sheet leases will introduce new complexities for many charities.

This focused deep‑dive session will walk you through the practical accounting requirements under the new SORP, highlight key judgement areas, and help you prepare for the transition with clarity and confidence. The webinar will conclude with a 30‑minute live Q&A.
