You must also be able see your bank balance in order to quickly determine how much is reserved or restricted and how much is still available to you to keep the lights on.
Bookkeeping mistakes in churches are inevitable. However, you can take steps to prevent them from happening.
If you aren't sure whether to make a worker an independent contractor (employee) or an employee, go ahead and give your worker the status of an employee.
Problem is, either the pastor or the volunteer may not be familiar with how to set-up and maintain an effective accounting system. So you end up with a poor church bookkeeping system.
Churches call the traditional balance sheet a statement of financial position. It uses the accounting equation “Assets = Liabilities + Equity” to show a snapshot of your organization's financial health. It also shows the current balance of each of your funds if you've been implementing fund accounting for your church.
Churches And Transparency
The standards of the Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability require that member organizations provide audited financial statements on request.
Churches and religious nonprofits must maintain highly accurate accounting and bookkeeping records in order to maintain their nonprofit status, budget accurately, and provide reporting to government entities and their parishoners or members.
