Protecting Your Church Against Embezzlement
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ!
Please join us for the next Church Security Round Table Meeting to be held on September 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at:
Noonday Baptist Association 1348 Canton Road, NE Marietta, GA 30066 sdean@noondayba.org Cost is $10.00 per person To make reservations, contact: Sherly Dean at 770.422.3347Embezzlement in churches across North America has increased over 52% according to a recent report released from a national recognized law firm specializing in church law. The majority of these church embezzlement crimes were carried out by people the church trusted…people who had worked for the church 5 years or more. Some of those involved in embezzling from their church stated that they didn’t really think of it as stealing as they intended to pay it back. During this Church Security Roundtable, we will be discussing what controls the church should have in place to minimize the opportunity for embezzlement. “Regrettably, financial misconduct tends to be more predominant in economic downtimes,” says David Middlebrook, Texas-based attorney specializing in church law. Make sure you register for this seminar soon. Space is limited. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.
