Integrity at Stake

Churches are not immune to disaster caused by financial fraud.  When fraud occurs in the church, significant spiritual ramifications linger long after the financial damage is addressed.  Financial abuse by a spiritual leader can ruin a ministry and leave a congregation full of people whose faith has been shattered.


This book addresses accountability and transparency--two keys that will minimize risk and help your church fulfill its mission.  Using real-life fraud examples to discuss some of the common abuses that occur in churches and non-profits, this book provides several controls that your ministry can implement to keep these frauds from occurring.


By adding a few internal controls, you can bring greater integrity to your financial operations, safeguard the honor of your ministry, and characterize biblical stewardship in your church.


Included in the book:


--Why Fraud Occurs: Discover why churches are susceptible to fraud, and why accountability and transparency are essential.


--Case Studies: Read about real life church frauds, what went wrong, and how to prevent them from occurring at your church.


--Internal Controls: Includes over 40 specific controls that you can implement to reduce the risk of fraud in your church or nonprofit.


--Self-Assessment Tools: Includes 120 self-assessment questions and specific audit steps to test the strength of your financial processes.
