For enquiries about parish finances or parish share contact the Deputy Diocesan Secretary and Finance Officer, Mr Roger Pinchbeck, or his deputy Mrs Kath Dixon.

Advice can be provided on the organisation and format of Parish Accounts, Gift Aid reclaim, VAT and other financial matters.

PCCs are excepted charities and are not required to register separately with the Charity Commission unless their income or expenditure exceeds £100,000 in any one year. For advice on registration or if you think that it may apply to your parish contact Mr N Hutton, Diocesan Christian Giving Director.  To maintain their excepted status, parishes are required to supply an annual set of accounts to the Diocesan Office – please send them for the attention of the Diocesan Secretary. Accounts are also required from those parishes that are registered with the Charity Commission.

Parish treasurers need to send in a copy of the Annual Finance summary, which should be sent to the Finance Officer at Church House as soon after the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) as possible. It is hoped that they will all have been received by the end of May.
