Clubs and small charities

Treasurer's cash book

For treasurers of clubs, societies and small charities

Write down every penny in and out, once. The cash book adds it up by category, keeps the bank and the cash tin apart, and tells you at the year end whether it agrees with the bank statement.

Where the figures come from

This workbook organises your club's own figures. It isn't accounting or legal advice. Check every figure before you report it. The one rule it uses links to the Charity Commission on GOV.UK, checked on 18 October 2026 (Sources tab). Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Charity Commission.
