Invitation To Tender: Provision Of Accountancy Services

Invitation To Tender: Provision Of Accountancy Services The FFLM invites suitably qualified and experienced accountancy firms to submit tenders for the provision of professional accountancy services. About us The Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine (FFLM) was founded in 2005 and is an established international membership organisation and charity committed to the development and maintenance of the highest possible standards in forensic and legal medicine. The specialty covers professionals working in the following disciplines: forensic medical practitioners (forensic physicians, forensic pathologists, forensic psychiatrists, forensic odontologists); medico-legal and dentolegal advisers; clinicians working in secure and detained settings and medically and legally qualified coroners. Introduction The FFLM is tendering for accountancy services. We are a registered Charity (1119599). FFLM prepares its accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). Bidders must demonstrate experience in preparing and advising on accounts compliant with this framework. Our financial year runs from 1 January to 31 December. Our annual turnover is between £800,000 and £1.1M and an overview of our finances is available in our 2024 financial report. We employ a Finance and Membership Manager and a Finance Administrator to manage our day-to-day income and expenditure. We are tendering for an accountant to provide support to our Finance Team and help us to meet our legal obligations regarding financial matters. As our turnover passed £1M, we are now subject to annual independent audit, which is currently carried out by MHA. We will require an accountant to support the FFLM in preparing accounts and other documents for this purpose. We are a small organisation, with 4.7 FTE staff members and support an organisation funded by the Home office, the Institute for Addressing Strangulation (IFAS) which has 3.9 FTE staff. IFAS is a Home Office funded initiative which leads national work on the recognition, response, and prevention of non-fatal strangulation and suffocation. It functions as an internal programme of the FFLM, operating under its governance and financial management structures. All accounting, reporting, and compliance responsibilities for IFAS are handled within the broader framework of the FFLM. Our staff work entirely remotely, and we do not maintain any office space. Due to our size, we need our accountant to provide proactive advice and support, be readily available and provide excellent customer service. Tender Submission If you have any questions regarding the tender or to request a copy of our 2024 accounts, please contact our Interim Office Manager, Charlene Campbell We look forward to receiving your submission.
