Changes to your financial scheme

If you are registered as a political party and your financial scheme is updated, you must send the Commission a copy for it to be approved in writing. 

You may be required to amend your financial scheme in certain circumstances to reflect your parties’ structure and practice. This includes:

  • if you intend to add or remove the post of campaigns officer
  • if you register a new person to be the party’s treasurer or campaigns officer and they are named in the financial scheme
  • if you register new, remove, or rename any of the party’s accounting units 
  • if you begin to have, or cease to have, deputy treasurers and/or deputy campaigns officers  
  • you register a party on the Great Britain and Northern Ireland register
  • if your processes for managing your financial affairs change since the last financial scheme
