Sarah Anderson

I’m Sarah Anderson, a Partner in BDO’s Audit and Assurance practice, bringing over 25 years of experience to the table. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of auditing and advising a wide range of Not for Profit organisations.

I specialise in Charity, Higher Education, and general Not for Profit Auditing, Accounts, and Governance advice. My work spans various Charities and Not for Profit organisations, including operational, research, and fundraising charities, higher education institutions, grant-making foundations, and related trading companies.

As the Audit Quality Lead for Not for Profit at BDO, I offer significant expertise in Charity and HE SORPs and FRS 102, and from having served on the Charity Commission’s SORP Committee from 2015 to 2019. I also contribute to BDO’s FRS 102 transition working group.

Outside of work, I’m an experienced trustee with the Intensive Care Society and actively volunteer as a sighted guide for the VI community, and with Pets As Therapy, visiting hospitals in Leeds with my therapy dog to improve rehabilitation outcomes. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, wildlife photography, and generally being outdoors.
