Our Services

TACT offer an Independent Examination of accounts to Charities who have an income level of less than £250,000 on a Receipts and Payments basis, by staff who have been trained by the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, (A.C.I.E), to assist Charities to comply with the reporting requirements for the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.

If you would like to discuss with an independent examiner (IE) your requirements then please use the ‘contact us’ page. An IE will get in touch with you to make arrangements to assist to complete your end of year return.

If you are not a registered charity we can still assist you as we are happy to offer the same service that we do to charities.

Our current payment scales are:

Charities

£0.00 to £15,000 would cost £50.00

£15,000 to £50,000 would cost £75.00

£50,000 to £100,000 would cost £100.00

£100,000 to £250,000 would cost £200.00

Important Notes:

• Home movies only – no commercial titles.

• We can accept standard VHS tapes and MiniDV tapes only.

• Straight copies only – no editing or retouching is included.

*Older VHS tapes that have been kept in storage (especially those recorded in LP or EP mode) are more likely to suffer from degradation such as colour loss, audio loss, frame skipping, and tracking issues. We can digitally copy what is playable in order to preserve your footage as much as possible but, unfortunately, some tapes may be unplayable.
