The “Basics” course is designed to equip new and old treasurers with the core knowledge needed to carry out their role.
During the day we will look at the treasurer as trustee, bookkeeper, planner, tax optimiser and compliance officer.
We will cover aspects such as charity law, fund accounting, gift aid, day-to-day finance systems and procedures, year-end accounting and reporting routines and much more.
Open to all church treasurers, and others involved in church finance, whether new to the role or experienced and looking for a refresher.
This event can also be booked to attend in person at the Cambridge venue - see in person booking selection.
