The Gravita charity bulletin brings together the latest developments and practical insights for charities. In this edition, we focus on the 2026 Charities SORP, one of the most significant changes to charity reporting in recent years.
Effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2026, the new SORP introduces enhanced Trustees’ Annual Report disclosures, updated lease accounting requirements and a revised revenue recognition model for exchange transactions.
Our specialists guide you through these key changes. David McGeeney provides an overview of the 2026 Charities SORP, Katherine Wilkes explains why the new lease accounting requirements are proving so challenging for charities and Dougal Howard explores the changes to income recognition. Together, their insights highlight the practical implications of the new reporting framework and the steps charities can take now to prepare for a smooth transition.
