Re: Do you photocopy checks?

Do you photocopy checks?

Dear fellow Powerchurch users, do you photocopy checks before depositing them?

Would love to hear your opinions.

Re: balancing between reports

Thank you for these comments. I appreciate the followup. I am going to print this out and put it in my file. We hire an outside professional accountancy firm to review and balance our books as we had a period with no professional accountancy within the church. The accountant's procedure for proving ...

How to account for a "scrip" fundraiser like Manna

Hello all. Our church runs a "scrip program" wherein our members purchase gift cards at face value from The Manna Group, but The Manna Group sells them to us at a discount. We collect payment from our members and Manna charges us about 95% of the value of the cards plus a small service fee. Therefor...

Just need to make a simple total at bottom of report
