A key area that churches are at greatest risk is internal controls. It is important that someone outside your financial system reconciles your bank accounts, tracks and verifies your deposits and checks, which increases your congregation’s security.
The biblical pattern shows without question that the pastor should be involved in the oversight of the church's finances, however, Scripture also prescribes the attitude and actions of the pastor to avoid disqualification of influence and trust.
