Statutory Filing

« Back to Resources

Statutory Filing refers to the legal requirement for the submission of your group’s approved and signed Annual Accounts (in the correct required format) along with an Annual Return to the appropriate regulatory bodies and/or funders.

Your group’s statutory filing requirements will depend on:-

• the legal form or structure of your group – whether or not you are Incorporated
• your group’s annual income in the period covered
• whether or not your group is a registered charity
• funder’s conditions
• your group’s own constitution or governing document
