Tips For Preventing and Catching Embezzlement of Church Funds
Guidelines from the General Council on Finance and Adminstration for the United Methodist Church has published a list of tips to prevent and catch embezzlement of church funds; see here.
The guidelines note that embezzlement is frequently carried out on a small scale by trusted employees, and churches can be vulnerable because of the high level of trust of all persons. Embezzlers often take advantage of inadequate internal controls in a church organization’s accounting system.
