**This book, part of the Key Guides series from DSC, guides you through setting 
one up or converting your existing charitable structure** **to a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation, “the most popular form for establishing new charities”.**

It contains the new procedures in England and Wales from 2018 for direct conversion
of charitable companies to CIOs (and CIC to CIO conversions from later in 2018).
For Scotland, it contains new OSCR procedures from 2016 for unincorporated charities
converting to CIOs.

This edition also covers more on the practical implications of CIO constitutions
which depart from the Charity Commission models.

It was written for anyone considering establishing a new charity in England, Wales
or Scotland to help them ensure they are using the structure most suitable for their
needs.

It goes back to the legal frameworks UK-wide and features extensive footnotes and
an index of legislation, so is useful for students and professional advisers too.

This second edition has undergone numerous major updates and now includes:

 * New procedures in England and Wales from 2018 for direct conversion of charitable
   companies to CIOs
 * New OSCR procedures from 2016 for unincorporated Scottish charities converting
   to SCIOs
 * Fully updated guidance on CIO registrations with the latest Charity Commission
   procedures
 * Further guidance on CIO constitutions, including variations on Charity Commission
   models
 * Up-to-date accounting issues for developments in the Charities SORP as applied
   to CIOs

## Reviews

‘Although it is now firmly established in the legal landscape, there is currently
little published guidance available on how to run a CIO. Gareth Morgan’s book fills
that gap – it is both practical and technical and, as such, is an important resource
for charities and advisers alike.’
