Annual Report and Financial Statements
Templates and information on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024 are now available, for both Receipts and Payments and for Accruals accounting, please find them below.
Please remember that however small your PCC is, every set of PCC Accounts must have the following elements:
- Annual Report;
- Financial Statements; and
- Independent Examiner’s Statement
Financial Statements prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis need to include the Receipts and Payments Statement and a Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Parishes with an annual income over £250,000 must prepare their accounts on an Accruals basis.
If you have any queries about this please contact Lizzy Anderson email
A Return of Parish Finance also needs to be completed for each parish. It can be completed online at https://parishreturns.churchofengland.org/ or submitted to your Deanery Treasurer.
Process and Timetable:
- Annual Report and Financial Statements prepared and independently examined.
- Annual Report and Financial Statements approved by PCC. Please note that it is the PCC that approves the Annual Reports & Financial Statements, not the APCM.
- Present Annual Report and Financial Statements at the APCM by 31 May 2025
- Send Annual report and Financial Statements to your Deanery Treasurer or email by 31 May 2025 or no later than 28 days after the APCM, whichever is sooner. The Deanery Treasurer will check the finance return back to the accounts, verify them and forward the accounts to the Finance Team at the Diocese.
