Audit, Accounting, and Tax Services

Managing the finances of a religious community or institution poses unique challenges for treasurers. Understanding the relationship between congregations and provinces, accounting for the finances of sponsored ministries, examining detailed information related to communal assets, and reviewing the incomes and expenses of a geographically dispersed membership demands a specialized skill set. Responsible stewardship requires not only a familiarity with the culture and structure of the organization, but an in-depth knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles and auditing standards in order to ensure compliance with industry practices.
