The Why & How of Internal Security

 

Attention: Church Pastors, Parish Managers,

Diocesan Officials and Concerned Laity

We are proud to provide a free download of our comprehensive Sunday collection security guidelines and related forms for any and all visitors interested in the financial well-being of their church or diocese.

As an added bonus (since Feb. 4, 2001) the guidelines also include an addendum (also free) entitled

Guidelines for Protecting a Church’s Disbursements Operations.

 

If you’re beginning to get the impression we’re not in this for financial gain, you’re absolutely correct!

 

When combined, the above described guidelines contain virtually everything a pastor, parish manager or other responsible party needs to elevate their church’s financial operations from the undesirable status of a sitting duck (vulnerable from many directions) to a deceptively secure operation, virtually impervious to covert theft and embezzlement.

 

Before you proceed to the download page via the adjacent menubar, we urge you to read each of our pages, beginning with the Introduction.  This will give you a better perspective on the issue of Sunday collection security and, thus, a better basis for making an informed judgement about whether or not to proceed with the download.

 

Whatever you decide, know that you have our very best wishes for every success as you strive to prepare your church or diocese for the fiscal challenges it presently faces or will likely encounter in the future.
