Arrangements for Financial Management, Control and Acounting
 | INTRODUCTION
1. These arrangements were approved by the Trustees of the Raphael Pilgrimage on 8 February 2012. They are based on the advice of the Charity Commission on ‘Internal Financial Controls for Charities’ (CC8) published in August 2011.
2. Basic to the Pilgrimage’s financial management is the following advice from that document:
A4. Scope of this guidance
Financial controls are important for charities of all sizes. Even small charities with relatively simple structures and low-risk activities need to protect their assets and get the most out of their resources.
Not all controls will be relevant for all charities; it is for the trustees to decide which controls are appropriate to their charity. The controls put in place by trustees should be proportionate to the risks involved.
A5. Using this guidance
The trustees, as a body, are together responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring their charity's internal financial controls. They may decide to delegate the detailed work on this task to one or more trustees or to members of staff. However the trustees should make a collective decision on what controls are needed.
Review of controls –
The trustees should, at least annually, ensure a review is conducted of the effectiveness of the charity's internal financial controls.
This should include an assessment of whether the controls are relevant to, and appropriate for, the charity and not too onerous or disproportionate.

GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS
 |
3. The Pilgrimage has two funds:
A General Fund for the overall running of the pilgrimage and The Gilbert Thompson Memorial Fund which is a restricted fund to assist pilgrims travelling to Lourdes.
In addition some local groups run their own funds to support the pilgrimage. The treasurers of these funds are required to submit an annual return to the pilgrimage treasurer; these are then incorporated into the year-end accounts for the pilgrimage and submitted to the Charity Commissioners.
4. The Pilgrimage Treasurer manages the General Fund and, currently, The Gilbert Thompson Memorial Fund.
However the latter fund is controlled by decisions of the Administrators under a constitution approved by the Trustees in May 2009.
5. The General Fund is the main vehicle for receiving funds and for the payment of disbursements associated with the overall running of the charity and for the annual pilgrimage.
