New Online System for Parish Finance Documents

The Finance Team is rolling out a new Parish Documents System to all parishes across the Diocese.

Treasurers, Clergy with Responsibility, PCC Secretaries and nominated officers will receive an automated email when new documents are added. These notifications will be limited to one email per week and will contain a link to the SharePoint folder for each parish. Please note that each new link issued will deactivate any previous links.

The links operate through Microsoft SharePoint and are only accessible to the email address to which they were sent. If a link is forwarded, it will not work for the recipient. If you have a Microsoft account associated with the email address we use, you will need to sign in to access the folder. If you do not already have a Microsoft account, you will not be asked to create one.

Each parish has its own folder containing all relevant documents. Documents for the current year will be stored in a dedicated subfolder, with additional subfolders organised according to the different types of documents produced by the Diocese.

All parishes will have access to a Parish Share and Fees folder which will contain statements and payment reports for the year. Folders will also be available for:

• Parishes with investments held by the Diocese as custodian will receive CCLA statements.
• Parishes participating in Gift Aid Lite will receive HMRC remittance advice and My Giving Online statements.
• Gift Aid Secretaries will also be given access to their parish’s Gift Aid.

If you have any questions, experience any difficulties accessing the folders, or would like additional parish officers to receive the document links, please contact the Finance Team and request that they be added.
