About the event
A 2021 survey by Church Law & Tax revealed that fraud happens to all types of churches across the country, and at the hands of perpetrators who are often trusted leaders. With the real threat of fraud present in any church, board members must take steps with leaders and staff to prioritize prevention and protect both their congregation and those who serve it.
Join this free, 2 1/2-hour online seminar for financial staff and volunteers offered by ABCRGR utilizing excellent resources from Church Law & Tax to learn how to help prevent financial malfeasance or fraud in your congregation.
