LOCAL CHURCH TREASURER CERTIFICATION

The Texas Conference strives to develop the necessary tools for church treasurers to carry out their work efficiently, and create a higher level of understanding of the church structure by providing the Local Church Treasurer Certification program.

The certification program is designed specifically for church treasurers and assistant treasurers. If you hold one of these roles, it is very important that you attend these workshops. This program is also open to pastors and any church member interested in becoming proficient in treasury work. Registration is required for each individual planning to attend.

The Texas Conference Auditing team examines a congregation’s financial records, internal controls and compliance with policies to ensure proper stewardship, accuracy and transparency. They independently verify treasurer reports, check for fraud and confirm that donations are used as designated, often providing annual reports to church leadership and members. 

Our work is threefold…

  • Perform financial reviews for our churches and schools (except academies)
  • Support treasurers having financial, software or procedural questions
  • Provide training to our treasurers

In compliance with organizational policy, each church is to be audited. The Church Treasurer will receive a letter or phone call from the Texas Conference Auditing Department to schedule the review at any given time during the year. Download the file below for a list of documents needed for the review.
