Based on the name of this weekly newsletter—the Church Law & Tax Update—fraud may not strike you as particularly relevant. It sounds better suited when discussing finances, right?
Not exactly. While fraud is inextricably tied to finances, it triggers numerous legal issues, too.
One pastor in California experienced this firsthand recently when he was convicted of swindling his congregation and others out of nearly $1 million through an investment scheme.
In short, fraud should be on your radar.
Our national survey on financial misconduct gives you the perfect opportunity to gain perspective on any financial risk and policies and procedures your church has in place—while also helping churches like yours nationwide on this critical issue.
Answers to the survey are kept strictly confidential, and the data collected will be used to help churches prevent future financial risks. It takes only 12 minutes—and upon completion, you’ll receive our Preventing High-Tech Fraud for free.
