Upcoming Webinar: Prevent Financial Fraud at Your Church
Financial fraud is an expensive problem for churches. It amounts to $37 billion in worldwide church-related crime losses and $8 billion in losses due to mismanagement of funds.* It can be as simple as stealing money from the offering plate to as detailed as full-fledged embezzlement schemes. And to really compound the problem, 95 percent of fraud within churches goes undetected or unreported.*
Here’s the good news: Fraud is avoidable. With the right checks and balances in place, you can help stop fraud before it adds up and prevents you from pursuing your ministries.
