Independent, fundamental churches tend to grow from a few families to the congregation presently attending. Many such churches may not have developed their church accounting systems and procedures to match this growth. Proper money-handling procedures, payroll records and reporting requirements, compensation packages for Pastor and staff to benefit from tax law, and other reporting needs are all considerations that each church should have addressed. Periodic review of statements and procedures provides assurance to your people that proper care has been taken in these stewardship functions.
