Handling of PCC funds
These guidelines are based on the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. Parochial Church Councils are well advised to ensure that they have proper systems in place for the signing of cheques, the counting of collections (including the opening of planned giving envelopes and Gift Aid envelopes) and prompt payment into the bank. For further Gift Aid guidance visit the Christian Giving and Funding area of the website. The recommendations on these pages have been prepared for the guidance of PCCs, Parish Treasurers and Independent Examiners/Auditors. The recommendations are a guide to best practice. The intention is to protect those who handle the finances of the Church from any accusation of the misuse or misappropriation of money. Its aim is not to question the honesty or integrity of anyone, or imply any lack of trust. Principles
