Audited Statements for FCRA

A charitable trust is registered u/s 12A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and is also registered under FCRA. The financial statements were prepared and audited as per the requirements of Income Tax Act, 1961 and Form 10BB was filed. No separate statements were prepared for foreign contributions. Kindly advise how to proceed further for FC-4 filing. Do we need to prepare a separate Balance Sheet and Income & Expenditure A/c for FC-4 filing or can we file the financial statements that were prepared for Income Tax filing. Also, does the Chartered Accountant who would issue certificate for FC-4 filing and the CA who signed Form 10BB need to be same or can they be different?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the requirements for audited financial statements when a charitable trust is registered under both the Income Tax Act and FCRA. It explains that separate financial statements, including a Balance Sheet and Income & Expenditure Account, are necessary for FC-4 filing, as these have stricter requirements than those for Income Tax purposes. The advice also covers whether the Chartered Accountant issuing the FC-4 certificate needs to be the same as the one who signed the Income Tax Form 10BB.

 

Yes, you will need to prepare a separate Balance Sheet and Income & Expenditure A/c for FC-4 filing. The financial statements that were prepared for Income Tax filing cannot be used for FC-4 filing. This is because the requirements for FC-4 filing are more stringent than the requirements for Income Tax filing.

Okay. Thanks a lot for the help. And can the separate statements prepared be signed by a different CA?
