Simple Solutions

 

This infidelity issue with our financial report could have been fixed in 10 minutes about 15 years ago. It wasn’t. Integrity suffered. Now it is the source of recurring meltdowns for our treasurer.

Three times I gently approached Phil and three times I was sharply rebuked with the words, “You want to do it?”

I don’t have firsthand knowledge of church funds and did not answer the call to be treasurer, but I will offer a simple solution for whomever wants to begin to restore integrity to the process.

Our people must trust that our reports are faithful to the actual offering and expense reported.

l have attached a Monthly Financial Report that allows the preparer to conduct all previous functions, plus effect a charge and credit and a transfer of funds without falsely representing these as offerings. Standard formulas for recurring calculations are included as well.

The values are known as Backyard Values. Most of the names are familiar. The values are used to show functionality only so as not to be confused with actual expenses until the preparer is versed in the updates.

This is not the industry standard, but fully functional for integrity in reporting.
