The Committee is responsible for the general financial oversight of funds administered for the benefit of the United Reformed Church under the overall authority of the General Assembly, for ensuring that proper procedures are in place for the maintenance of accounting records, the safe custody of assets and the preparation of financial statements, for giving financial advice to other councils of the church as appropriate, and for taking such decisions with regard to the finances of the Church as are necessary within the policies set by General Assembly. Committee Members Convener: Mr Graham Stacy (Hon.Treasurer)
Resolution 29 Accounts General Assembly adopts the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2001. 2001 Accounts 1.1 The 2001 accounts are set out in Appendix 1 and include a report from the Finance Committee commenting on the result for the year and the financial position as at 31 December 2001. Resolution 30 Ministry and Mission Fund General Assembly gratefully acknowledges the giving of the churches in 2001 to the Ministry and Mission Fund. The giving of the members of the Church to central funds 1.1 The financial operation of the Plan for Partnership in Ministerial Remuneration could not happen if each Church Treasurer did not make very great efforts to ensure that the money required for this part of the work is in the local bank account on 20th of each month, for collection by direct debit. 1.2 That this system runs very smoothly is evidence of much hard and devoted work, and in thanking the Church for the response to the appeal for Ministry and Mission, the committee would also wish to acknowledge that largely unthanked group, the treasurers, in local churches, and also at district and synod level. |
