  • 1.  Expense Policy

    Posted 07-24-2024 10:23 AM

    We are a small church with an average attendance of 60 members. We also have a preschool with the budget of about $1 million a year. And we run a church camp for eight weeks on another property on the lake. 
    I'm looking for an examples of expense policies that Church might have specifically Authorization for spending amounts for preschool administrators, signature levels and other expense control policies.

    Thank you very much for your input.

    We do not have a written policy, it is in the works.  We have been using expense forms that list our chart of account numbers and states who is being reimbursed for what and who is approving the expense.

    Thank you Sue.  This might helpful. Our Pastor and wife,  treasurer and secretary all have credit cards and use them frequently every month.
