I was able to reconcile the balances for all the
church accounts. Account balances are accurately
recorded in the account.

Restricted funds clearly documented.
**Summary**
Records agree to transactons in the accounts. No
issues,|To Note|| |**Review of Income Figurers**
I can confrm that the income total fgure is
accurately recorded in the Final accounts.

transactons are recorded in the bank accounts.
No issues|I suggest the procedure of
paying cash collectons into a
personal account and then
transferring into church
accounts should be
independently checked and
evidenced on the weekly
sheets. The receipt from the
inital deposit to the
individual’s account would
strengthen the records and
give someprotecton to the|| ||individuals.|| |---|---|---| |**Review of Expenditure Figures**
