Treasurer Support & Information

Welcome to the pages devoted to supporting our PCC and Deanery Treasurers. The pages are inspired by the successful training events Practical Accounting Made Simple (November 2006). The course was designed to encourage and inform treasurers about the Charities Act 1993 and Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2005.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Click on the link to see if we have the answers to the many questions asked by PCC Treasurers, etc. Check this page often, they are updated regularly. If your question is not there, email Gordon Powell, he will answer your question, and if it is of general interest it will also be posted on the Treasurers' FAQ pages.
