4 The Legal Responsibilities of PCCs and their Trustees - 1
The Church of England has produced a summary booklet of the responsibilities of PCC’s, combining references to both the relevant measures governing PCC’s and the overall responsibilities of trustees. This may be accessed at:-
http://www.parishresources.org.uk/charity/Trusteeship%20leaflet%208pp.pdf
5 The Legal Responsibilities of PCCs and Their Trustees - 2 - The Measures in more detail - 1
PCCs are governed by two pieces of CoE legislation – namely:
1 The Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended. This defines the principal function, or purpose, of the PCC as “promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church”.
6 The Legal Responsibilities of PCCs and Their Trustees - 3 - The Measures in more detail - 2
2 The Church Representation rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
Both documents may be accessed at: http://wwp.parishresources.org.uk/charity/gds.htm
7 The Legal Responsibilities of PCCs and Their Trustees - 4 - The Responsibilities of Trustees - 1
Parochial church councils (PCCs) are charities and as such appoint trustees who are required to meet a range of legal responsibilities. Links to guidance notes on the most critical and relevant of these responsibilities follow.

11 Topics to be covered in following slides - 1
Charity status Which type of Accounts? SOFA – Statement of Financial Activities
(per Fund) Independent Examiner Responsibilities Handling receipts & payments Reporting requirements Record keeping (Methods, Income,
Expenditure, Agent, Funds, Bank Recs)
12 Topics to be covered in following slides - 2
Gift Aid “Acting as an Agent” (Non PCC) – examples Movements on Funds Balance Sheet (“triple entry”) Bank reconciliations Financial Management Be aware of, perhaps more for the future Year End Schedule Resources available to you KEEP IT ALL PROPORTIONATE
13 Charity Status (NB turnover thresholds under review)
Normal turnover (significantly) below £100,000 per annum = Excepted
Turnover (“normal”) in excess of £100,000 per annum = required to register as a charity in own right with Charity Commission (2006 Act)
Turnover includes all income – Unrestricted, Restricted, Endowment – but NOT endowments or loans received (or loans repaid to the PCC)
Apply for Letter of Determination from CC if exceptionally exceed £100,000
14 Charity Status – Registered (No.) Charity PCCs need to file Annual Return and Accounts with Charity Commission each year This must be lodged no later than 10
months after the accounting year end – for PCCs this is 31st October following the previous 31st December year end.
Link is: http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Charity_requirements_guidance/Accounting_and_reporting/Preparing_annnual_returns/When_to_send_annual_return_index.aspx
Must include Registered Number and refer to registered charity status in Annual Accounts and PCC Annual Report.
15 Charity Status – Excepted Charity – just so you know
Most PCCs (those with NORMAL income under £100,000) are legally excepted from having to register with the Charity Commission. In all other ways they are a full charity in their own right. The exception is now granted under the Charities Act 2011. No Annual Return.
Precise new references relating to the Charities Act 2011 will be circulated in the near future
PCC Annual Report and Accounts should refer to Excepted status
16 Which type of Accounts?
Turnover below £250,000 per annum MAY prepare Receipts and Payments Accounts but all CAN prepare Accounts using Accruals Accounting (better option for good financial management and budgeting) - “proper” Balance Sheet
Turnover above £250,000 MUST use Accruals Accounting
Monthly Reporting should enable Annual Accounts to be prepared relatively “seamlessly” – try to tee up accordingly
17 Receipts & Payments approach to Accounts – STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AT YEAR END NOT a Balance Sheet but can provide
“illusion” of being a Balance Sheet Can be confusing! Include investments at Market Value
(MV) “Proper” Accruals Accounts with
complete “proper” Balance Sheet much better!
18 SOFA – Statement of Financial Activities (per Fund)
Incoming Resources Resources Used Excess of Incoming Resources over
Resources Used (or vice versa)
19 “Real World” PCC Accounts - 1
Format not prescriptive – but see model accounts (resources)
Do please ensure all relevant details, provided, including as to type of fund and link to relevant bank account etc including whether or not current or deposit account – TRANSPARENCY and “business” management / best practice
AVOID large sums held on current account!
20 “Real World” PCC Accounts - 2
NB Accounts, Notes to Accounts, Accounting Policies and Independent Examiner’s Report – also PCC Annual Report – ALL 3 NEED TO BE SIGNED !
Need to send a signed hard copy of Accounts including signed Independent Examiner’s Report and signed PCC Annual Report to the diocese, marked for my attention please – plus an electronic copy via e-mail if possible
21 Independent Examiner
ALL PCC’s MUST obtain Independent Examiner’s Report – no de minimis – Church Accounting Regulations 2006
Independent Examiner’s Report should be in prescribed format (see model Accounts) updated with references to Charities Act 2011
If turnover greater than £250,000 Independent Examiner must be member of an approved professional organisation
Full audit required if turnover exceeds £500,000 per annum (more expensive)
22 INDEPENDENT EXAMINER SHOULD TRY TO VERIFY EXISTENCE OF ASSETS Independent Examination is NOT an audit
but is a very responsible role – NOT a “rubber stamp” approach
Independent Examiner should try to OBTAIN UNAMBIGUOUS INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION THAT SUBSTANTIAL (INVESTMENT) ASSETS EXIST
Authority will need to be given to investment provider to provide such confirmation direct to Independent Examiner – BUT NB THERE WILL BE A CHARGE PER ITEM (perhaps £25)……
23 Hon Treasurer’s Responsibilities
Accountable to the PCC – “Navigator” Recording income and expenditure Looking after the funds Reporting the financial position Segregation/delegation of duties –
ESSENTIAL FOR ALL PARTIES – COVER EVERYBODY’S BACK !!!!!
Otherseg arranging insurance cover, keeping an
assets register, maintaining records for gift aid, paying staff…..
24 FRAUD PREVENTION – VITAL - 1
Scarcely believable but sadly it can sometimes happen
ALL BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES – question! Signatories for cheques and investments –
bank mandate should not only be updated but CHECKED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE THE CURRENT SIGNATORIES ARE THOSE MANDATED BY THE PCC FOR THIS
Copy Bank Statements to Incumbent or Churchwarden – query anything unusual especially large receipts and payments
25 FRAUD PREVENTION – VITAL - 2
Instructions to be clear with Investment provider that any encashment of investments MUST be signed off by Incumbent, Churchwarden and Treasurer with signed supporting PCC Minute (see below)
PCC Minute for all movements of Investments – signed by Incumbent, Churchwarden and Treasurer
Independent Examiner should try to verify existence of assets
26 FRAUD - THE “LITMUS” TEST - 1
Even where there is no “proper” Balance Sheet the assets should still reflect the surpluses or deficits shown by the Accounts
So – if there is a deficit of let us say £10,000 then the assets should decrease by £10,000 (and of course vice versa)
This is especially the case if several years are reviewed as a block
27 FRAUD - THE “LITMUS” TEST - 2
A “proper” Balance Sheet as per Accruals Accounts would reveal “asset imbalance” more accurately than a Statement of Assets and Liabilities however the principle holds good
Where there are substantial deficits which are not “officially” reflected in asset outflows then it may be that the assets no longer in fact exist – NB!
28 Handling Receipts & Payments - Receipts
Receipts (Avoid “Netting Off”)2 independents to count and record cashClear audit trailBank promptlyIssue receipts/acknowledgementsAudit Trail Transparency

36 Gift Aid - 1
Currently 25p tax back for every £10 NET donation (£10 x 100/80 = £12.50; £12.50 x 20% = £2.50)
Vital source of additional income Likely to have Gift Aid Officer – good idea –
natural delegated role Diocese can claim centrally on behalf of
PCCs – BUT YOU NEED TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION AND MAINTAIN HMRC AUDIT PROOF RECORDS – VITAL !
37 Gift Aid - 2
If you prefer to reclaim direct from HMRC that is fine
CAN use Donations Co-ordinator (but do not have to) – Data Developments – 01962 824044 – initial cost normally £155 (plus training if required) but discount available by going via C of E website: www.parishbuying.org.uk

39 Gift Aid - 4 - time limits for claims
Now a four year cut-off limit for claiming ANY Gift Aid
4-year rule: e.g. for 2008 = 1st January 2008 to 31st December 2008 by 31st December 2012 (4 years from 1st January 2012, namely start of current 2012 accounting year)
Transitional Relief – 2 years only to reclaim TR (see next slide)
40 Gift Aid - 5 - Transitional Relief (relates to former 22% rate of tax)
Only two years allowed to claim transitional relief – “rolling” basis
Donations made to 5th April 2011 (FINAL ELIGIBLE TR DATE) must be claimed by 31st December 2013 (similar basis to 4 year claim rules)
TR on donations to 5th April 2010 must be claimed by 31st December 2012 (any earlier now out of time)
Claim sooner rather than later – don’t wait!
41 Gift Aid - 6
BE AWARE OF NEW MORE GENEROUS TAX THRESHOLDS !!! MAKE SURE ALL GIFT AID DONORS STILL PAYING TAX ! OBTAIN NEW DECLARATIONS !

42 “Acting as an agent” (Non PCC)
NOT part of the parish income and expenditure
ExamplesClergy fees to be assignedChoir fees to be paid to choristersRetiring collections for a specific
charity – where everyone donates with the clear understanding where their money will go
43 Examples of Non-PCC receipts
Contras Fees cancelled – wedding Flowers cancelled – wedding Non PCC fees cancelled wedding Non PCC Christian Aid Non PCC verger fees Non PCC DBF fees
44 Examples of Non-PCC payments
Contras Fees cancelled – wedding Flowers cancelled – wedding Non PCC fees cancelled wedding Non PCC Christian Aid Non PCC verger fees Non PCC DBF fees
Yes they should be equal and opposite – subject to timing differences – (at year end) bring in debtor or creditor if need be
45 Movements on Funds - 1
Endowment Funds – income can ONLY be used in accordance with terms of Endowment – CAPITAL MUST BE PRESERVED
Restricted Funds – again can only be used in accordance with terms of bequest or origin of fund
46 Movements on Funds - 2
Unrestricted FundsGeneral fundDesignated fund – in effect potentially
Unrestricted SHOW TRACK OF THE FUNDS TO
RELEVANT BANK ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS REPRESENTED!
47 BALANCE SHEET – “nominal triple entry – Funds are equivalent to “Equity” and represented by assets” ASSETS (e.g. Cash at Bank) = £x EQUITY (Total Balances as at 1st January +
Excess or – Deficit = Total Balances as at 31st December) = £x
REPRESENTED BY FUNDS – Unrestricted, Restricted, Endowment) = £x (show trail to Bank Accounts etc)
Quite a neat approach, but if you prefer, ignore the “Equity” line!
Important to show all necessary detail, possibly via Notes to the Accounts – e.g. cash on deposit etc.
48 Bank Reconciliations
Every account Monthly Standard Procedure
Tick back statement to your recordsUpdate your records where necessaryTake bank statement balance and if in
credit then = – unpresented cheques,+ uncleared deposits (aka after date
bankings) - (and obviously vice versa if overdrawn!)
MUST = the balance in your books
