It may be difficult to accept that financial fraud happens in a church. 

Church leaders want to believe their employees and volunteers have integrity, but unfortunately, fraud is a serious problem that cannot be ignored. This guide shows how to use policy and procedures to prevent church fraud:

• Why it's important to segregate financial duties
• How to manage collections and petty cash
• When to use an independent auditor

By enacting these measures and others, church leaders can prevent internal theft and fraud without making it seem that no one can be trusted.
