The role of a PCC Treasurer or Benefice Treasurer is a highly trusted and respected one. We’ve put together some helpful resources that will assist you in your role.
Finance, Funding and Reporting - this section of the website contains helpful information for managing the church’s finances.
PCC Treasurer Handbook - this handbook has been designed to provide general guidance about most aspects of parish treasury. We hope that this handbook will be both helpful and of interest to you.
The Treasurer’s Annual Cycle - the Treasurer’s role has regular monthly responsibilities of recording receipts, making payments and bank reconciliations within an annual cycle which is summarised here.
ACAT is the charity for treasurers of Christian churches. Durham Diocese has ‘block’ membership for their treasurers. This gives parishes within the Diocese access to ACAT’s full range of services, (including the ACAT Handbook for Treasurers) without the need to pay for individual membership. To access ACAT resources please contact Samantha Amsden for the block membership code.
Our 'Training and Support' page has links to training sessions, either to sign-up to or to watch past recorded training sessions.
The Parish Resources website has lots of information to help get you up and running. Please see the links below:
PCC Accountability: The Charities Act 2011 and the PCC – The ‘Green Book’ covers the majority of information you need for day to day, and year end activities. This handbook is an essential part of a treasurer’s toolkit. It is also available as a hard copy from Church House Publishing.
