Finance Features
Treasurers will be particularly mindful of the recent changes in Charities Law in the UK regarding accounting practices for charities and churches. In particular, the need for many churches to produce their tax returns in accruals format, consistent with SORP (2005) guidelines, or on a Receipts and Payments basis. Thankfully the Omega Church Accounts module will produce all reports necessary, whatever your church's requirements.
Of course, this is all in addition to the functions essential for good church financial management, such as Income Recording, Gift Aid claiming and production of an annual report, to name but a few! You do not need to be an Accountant to use Omega Church Accounts. Its easy to use, wizard-based interface guides you through setup and all the day to day accounting processes and tax returns.

Omega Accounts
The Accounts module produces a whole range of customisable financial reports, ensuring that the needs of your own individual church continue to be met. It is fund-based, allowing you to keep track of individual fund activities.
Omega Accounts is the only part of the Omega Church program which, although included in the full program, can also be purchased separately.
