Guidance for Treasurers

The Charity Commission has just announced its latest update on managing charity resources, and it includes various aspects of resource management in Charities, including finances and fundraising.

To see the publication click on the link below. There is an option to print out the document (a PDF version is available).

Please note that all treasurers of congregations should read this document to be aware of all aspects of managing finance for a charity. Remember, even if you are not registered as a charity at this time, you are still classified as such and are obliged to follow the guidance of the Charity Commission. This is a very valuable up-to-date resource.
