The Treasurers’ Cashbook � Developed Diocese by Matthew Brunt of Gloucester � Free EXCEL based software most suitable for smaller parishes with income <£ 100 k � Will produce simple R&P or accruals accounts and the Return of Parish Finance � Available to download with the WORD manual from the website
Tips � Cashbook is password protected, password can be released if required, though risk of corrupting the spreadsheet exists. � Avoid cutting and pasting data around the cashbook – use the sort keys instead to sort entries by date/account etc. � For larger churches a commercial accounts package may be preferable (e. g. Finance Co. Ordinator / SAGE / etc).
Updates and Support � Version 5. 1 will be out soon, and is expected to include a more sophisticated accruals version; the ability to set up regular standing orders and a Gift Aid tab � An annual training session is held in December/January for new users of the cashbook, covering cashbook basics and aspects of receipts and payments accounting, including fund accounting. � To register your interest in attending this day, please contact Chris Gould in the finance office (chris. gould@bathwells. anglican. org)
