PKF member firms around the network understand the specialist needs of the not-for-profit (NFP) sector which includes health, education, arts, welfare, social housing, and environmental organisations as well as charities.

NFPs are often highly regulated with rigorous standards of governance as well as different accounting rules from commercial organisations. For example, in Canada, NFPs will be required to adopt a new accounting framework for year ends beginning on or after 1 January 2012 with  the option of choosing a new framework based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the new Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE).

Typically, PKF member firms with sector expertise provide a range of business risk services, pensions advice, trustee development, strategic planning and governance, and change management services.

They understand the unique issues from  the client's perspective and are committed to helping charities and not-for-profit organisations excel at what they do best - helping others.
