Finance Secretariat

20-23 Arran Quay, Dublin 7, D07 XK85

The Finance Secretariat provides financial advice and support to parishes. Advice is provided in the areas of banking arrangements, financial controls and obligations under the Charities Act, for example. All parishes of the Archdiocese are audited and reported collectively under the parishes trust. The secretariat provides accounting and secretarial functions to the diocesan trust and the St Laurence O’Toole Trust.

The secretariat provides an administration service in relation to salaries and other benefits for diocesan employees. It processes the monthly payments to active and retired priests, payments of expenses such as supplier invoices, insurance premiums and payments to the beneficiaries of the restricted funds. The secretariat is responsible for the production of accounts, budgets and statutory filings for the two diocesan trusts. The annual financial statements contain detailed comprehensive financial information on the Archdiocese and its parishes.

Other services provided by the secretariat include the administration of weekly collections; the provision of pastoral management and accounting systems; advice on procedures and financial management; the provision of training; and a bookkeeping service for some parishes.
