Independent Examiner – Altham PCC

Altham are looking for a new independent examiner as their previous examiner has retired after many years service.

Are you able to give the time to carry out this important role and have the necessary experience? It takes place over about two day once a year. You don’t have to be a chartered accountant, just someone who knows their way around a set of books and accounts.

If you think you are able to and would like to do this, or want to find out more, please contact Les Moore or have a word with Revd Toby.

Thank you
