Internal Audit Checklists for Churches and Other Ministries
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Internal auditing is value-added auditing - auditing specific areas of the church which add value to the ministry’s overall purpose, and risk assessment auditing—auditing areas where ministry risks and exposures might exist. Church leaders must not only strive to accomplish their ministry goals and objectives, but they must also provide reasonable assurance to their members and the world-at-large of the following priorities:
- Effectiveness in accomplishing ministry goals and objectives
- Efficiency in performing ministry responsibilities and duties
- Wise stewardship in the use of ministry resources
- Reliability in the reporting of ministry finances
- Compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations
- Observance of internal policies, standards and procedures
- Assessment of possible risks and exposures to the ministry
The Internal Audit Checklists have been designed to provide a means for reviewing the internal workings of the ministry on a periodical basis. This resource explains how to establish an effective Internal Audit Committee for your ministry and provides specific responsibilities and duties for the committee. Actual comprehensive internal audit checklists are provided for the committee’s use. The checklists are designed for immediate use, but a separate “How to Use Checklists” section has been prepared to assist in more effectively using them.
