Cases That Changed Our Lives Second Volume
£32.00Quick ViewFollowing the international success of Volume 1 in 2010, Volume 2 presents a brand new selection of cases that have changed our lives. This collection of essays examines key cases (both UK and international) that have changed or created the rules and procedures which govern our lives and which we abide by. It takes a retrospective look at the circumstances behind the results of these great cases, examining the facts and the lasting legacies, as well as revealing a human side to the events that is not always apparent from the law reports.
The themes addressed by the book demonstrate the rule of law, showing that through something as abstract as judicial reasoning, we create a set of rules and procedures which govern our lives. In support of the rule of law and the causes championed by LexisNexis, a sum of £1 from every copy of the book sold will be donated to Stop the Traffik, a global movement of activists around the world who passionately give their time and energy to build resilient communities and prevent human trafficking.

Charities are involved in trading more now than ever before: whether it is to deliver their core services or as a means to fundraise. This book steers the reader through the myriad of legal issues to be aware of.
It highlights the preliminary issues which charities carrying out trading activity must consider, and provides an outline of the tax and VAT implications of the various types of trading. It covers specific types of trading activity: primary purpose trading, charity sales including charity shops, trading aimed purely at raising funds and income from charity property. It also covers broader commercial issues as they apply to charities, including contracts, e-commerce, competition rules, intellectual property, insurance and insolvency. Each section is illustrated with examples and cases showing how the law is interpreted and applied in practice, helping the reader to relate the law to their own charity. Updated to take account not just changes in the law but changes in the ways charities trade, this edition explains the underlying legal principles, Charity Commission guidance and other good practice recommendations.
Written by a team of charity lawyers from the specialist firm Bates Wells & Braithwaite, Charities, Trading and the Law is an essential reference for charity trustees and employees, and lawyers and accountants advising charities on trading issues.

Charity Accounts: A Practitioner’s Guide to the Charities SORP Fifth edition & CD-Rom
£210.00Quick ViewCharity Accounts: A Practitioner’s Guide to the Charities SORP (FRS102) is the definitive professional guide to best practice in public accountability and regulatory compliance for charities under the current UK and Eire Statement of Recommended Practice.
Packed with practical information and advice on compliance with the UK sector’s regulatory regimes, it explains in depth what SORP (FRS102) requires for charities’ annual financial reporting, what that means in practice for larger and smaller charities, how the SORP’s requirements have evolved from the original 1995 version, including the Public Benefit, performance reporting, fundraising practice, and governance disclosures expected by the Charity Regulators charged with maintaining public confidence in charity.
This new edition brings the reader up to date with the fundamental, rules-based changes brought by the globally-derived FRS102, as well as the relevant new requirements of charity legislation and the increasingly forensic annual returns regime whose extended disclosures are clearly designed to transfer the regulatory risks onto the charity trustees and their professionally regulated auditors and their as yet unregulated independent examiners. It offers a wealth of necessary insights into the origin and development of the Charities SORP, now firmly anchored into global financial reporting through the largely rules-based FRS102.
Charity Accounts: A Practitioner’s Guide to the Charities SORP (FRS102) is an essential title for charity trustees, treasurers and finance personnel, charity regulators and funding bodies, charity auditors, independent examiners and advising accountants, as well as lawyers with accounting expertise or who need to relate the strict demands of trust law for charity administration to the increasing influence of ‘substance-over-form’ considerations on financial reporting by the larger charities under FRS102.
