Confused or overwhelmed by the complexities of accruals accounting or simply looking for assurance that you are doing things correctly?
Why not join our two-session course on accruals accounting and understand more about the concept of accruals basis accounting?
This is a two session course, and we advise all participants to book both sessions. Session two can be found below.
Session one is entitled "Introduction to Accruals" and aims to provide an introduction to the fundamental accounting concepts and forms of financial statements that are used in accruals basis accounting.
Who is it for? This course is designed for church treasurers, trustees, finance managers, and anyone involved in managing church finances, where your church is required, or has chosen, to use accruals accounting.
Why take the course: Take this course to gain clarity of the principles of accruals basis accounting. To be gently guided through aspects of the balance sheet, definitions of terms used, explore the reporting requirements of the Charities SORP and much more. Build your knowledge and confidence in the accounting of your church finances.
What will be achieved: By the end of this course, you'll have a clearer grasp of the concepts of accruals basis accounting having explored definitions, cashflow vs income and expenditure, financial statements, year-end adjustments and the Charities SORP. You will have had the opportunity to ask questions relevant to your context and about general principles.
Other information: The course comprises practical insights and guidance on some of the complexities of accruals accounting. It does build on some aspects of our ‘Being a Treasurer: The Basics’ course but equally stands alone. It is delivered by knowledgeable professionals who can answer your questions and concerns, ensuring that your church's accounting remains appropriate and correct.
