The “ Company ” The diocese operates most of its business via a company called the Truro Diocesan Board of Finance (TDBF) which manages assets, receives income and spends the money. One of the significant roles of the Diocesan Synod is to approve the budget. It is the Bishop, the BDC and the diocesan synod that set the strategy/policy/plans etc and not the TDBF!

The Truro Diocesan Board of Finance (TDBF) Diocesan boards of finance were set up by legislation to promote and assist the work, objects and purposes of the Church of England for the advancement of the Christian religion in the Diocese of Truro and in particular to organise and provide funds in aid of the work of the Church.
