Help, I’m a Church Treasurer! (Recorded Seminar)

The status of your church as a registered charity depends heavily on the treasurer to be aware of the regulations about receiving and spending charitable donations. In addition, the treasurer is often the one who watches the church’s financial health and keeps its finances in good order. That’s a lot for a volunteer to do.

This recorded seminar will help you sort through the unique complexities of financial oversight in a charity and learn the essential things you need to know, including

• Supporting ministry vision with the budget
• Preparing good financial information for the board
• Dealing with the Audit or Congregational Review Committee
• Understanding the annual cycle for the church treasurer
  • Resources in
  • Resources out: paying invoices, payroll, qualified donees, benevolence payments
  • Sending money outside Canada
  • Year-end procedures
• Filing the T3010 and avoiding common errors
• Preparing for your successor

Although this seminar is designed for church treasurers, the material is applicable to treasurers serving in any ministry context.
