Accruals accounts include details of:

- other important information, such as related party transactions with the trustees
You can choose to describe your charity’s income and expenditure using either:
- natural categories that you’re free to decide, eg donations, wages and rent

You must have your accounts independently examined or audited. You can choose which you do unless your governing document specifies an auditor.
