When it comes to ministry finances, two crucial elements should always be considered: adequate internal controls and trained individuals.
Effective internal controls allow the ministry to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. Trained individuals provide the extra layer of security and support needed when handling ministry finances and can also help identify fraudulent activity that may bypass the established controls. By ensuring these two elements are in place you can better protect the finances of the church and minimize the opportunities for fraud and embezzlement to occur.

(ARM) webinar, join David Fournier, chief client care officer, and Andrew Moll, corporate treasurer, as they review and discuss some of the financial risk management basics.
