Why Charities & Non-Profits Choose BankScan AI
Charities need accurate financial records for trustees, donors, and the Charity Commission — but often rely on volunteers without accounting expertise.
How BankScan AI Helps Charities & Non-Profits
Make bank statement reconciliation simple for volunteer treasurers. Upload statements, get clean spreadsheets for your financial reports.
The Charities & Non-Profits Bank Statement Workflow
For charities & non-profits, the core challenge is turning unstructured PDF data into actionable, organised records quickly enough to stay on top of deadlines. BankScan AI eliminates this bottleneck by handling the data extraction automatically, so charities & non-profits can focus on analysis, client advice, and compliance rather than manual data entry.
How Charities & Non-Profits Use Bank Statement Data
Charity treasurers collect bank statements monthly, reconcile them against donation records and grant income, allocate expenditure to restricted and unrestricted funds, and prepare reports for trustee meetings. Annual accounts must be filed with the Charity Commission, requiring a full year of reconciled bank data.
Key terms you'll encounter: restricted funds, unrestricted funds, fund accounting, Charity SORP, independent examination.

Compliance Considerations for Charities & Non-Profits
When handling bank statement data, charities & non-profits must comply with relevant regulations.
- Charities with income over 250,000 GBP must have accounts independently examined or audited. The Charity Commission requires annual accounts and returns, and SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) governs how charity accounts are prepared. Fund accounting rules require income to be tracked against specific restricted funds.
