As promised, my article on church fraud is live here: Let the Faithful Pray There’s No Fraud.

I’ve been investigating a couple of cases of church fraud lately, and it makes me sad to think that people will steal from churches, of all places. Sadly, many churches make it all too easy for the thief by not having any sort of controls in place to monitor the money and the bookkeeper.

Even a minimal level of controls could prevent many of the church frauds I see. It’s not expensive and it’s not hard. I can only hope that more churches take steps to protect their money.
