This quiz checks all four areas.
Leadership should see a report every month, and the congregation should receive a financial update at least quarterly. Waiting until year-end to share numbers is one of the most common gaps we see in churches.
At minimum: at least two people involved in handling cash and contributions, bank statements reviewed by someone other than the bookkeeper, and account signatories that are reviewed regularly. These protect both your church's finances and the volunteers and staff who manage them.
Giving statements should go out to every donor by January 31 each year so members have what they need for tax filing, and donors should ideally be able to check their giving status anytime, not just once a year.
