Religious giving is down... what’s a ministry to do?
with Linda McNay, PhD
The percentage of giving to religion in 2017 is at an all-time low.

There are 4 elements critical to campaign fundraising success:
A strong, well articulated case for support
A sound, written strategy for success
Volunteer and staff leadership committed to and trained for success
Effective execution of the plan and strategies

"See Something/Say Something" Better Defined for Volunteers
with Jeff McKissack
We're all familiar with the phrase, "If you see something, say something", yet few really know what it is they are supposed to be looking for in order to report it. This presentation will offer some basic guidelines and advice to better define (for volunteers) such behavioral anomalies for reporting.

• What are behaviors volunteer ushers should look for in standard services?

It is rarely if ever about *appearances*, noting these can be deceiving as we've all heard for years. We have to focus more on those *behaviors* which can red-flag situations and/or people that might prove harmful or might have a hidden agenda. This will be the focus of this presentation.

How to Plan Successful Church Events that Don’t Drain Your Team (or your budget)
with Deborah Ike
Marriage retreats, community outreaches, ladies’ brunches, and more - your church hosts several special events throughout the year. Whether you expect 50 people or 5,000, planning an event requires a different approach than planning Sunday services. Too often, church staff and volunteers deal with last-minute changes, unproductive meetings, unclear expectations, and late nights the week before the event. Based on my experience helping churches and as a professional project manager, I’ve developed a process to make planning church events easier and more effective.
We’ll cover the following:
• Where to start in the planning process
• How to create a plan
• Who should be on the team
• What’s involved in executing the plan
• How to keep senior leadership informed
• What should happen the day of the event
• What to do once the event is over
This process saves your team time (no more unproductive meetings) and money (planning ahead prevents last-minute requests to vendors) all while creating events that truly impact your church and community.

The Accounting of Disaster Relief and Emergency Benevolence:
Stepping up your benevolence plan in the face of disaster
with Elaine Sommerville
The huge foot prints of disaster relief needs from Hurricane Harvey and Irma have many faith based congregations and group scurrying for understanding and answers. According to USA Today, faith-based relief groups are responsible for providing nearly 80 percent of the aid delivered thus far to communities with homes and businesses devastated by the recent hurricanes.
In this seminar, Elaine Sommerville will review accounting issues around relief ministries. Consider the following questions:
- Do you have a disaster plan to provide the foundation for response when disaster strikes?
- Do you know how the church, as the employer, can help its own employees?
- How do you plan for and encourage community funding and involvement in your disaster relief efforts and reach beyond the typical membership funding sources?
- Are you up to date on IRS’s announcements 2017-11 or 2017-39?
To answer some of these questions, we will explore the use of a Section 139 disaster relief plan to meet both the needs of your employees and the needs of the community as well as the use of leave-sharing benefit plans. We will also consider ways to build community trust before the disaster to provide for relationships during th disaster and consider thinking outside the box, to look beyond your typical giving base for funding.
Additionally, we will discuss an update of the various relief provisions provided by the IRS to those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

with Frank Sommerville
With Hurricane Harvey on the heart and minds of the nation, the need to

communities can take on many forms. Some can be forecast, giving time to

preparation are so important.
What are the issues? Do you know how to help and stay within the law?
How do you respond when the Red Cross or FEMA knock on your door?
This webinar will discuss options available to the church when a disaster strikes their community.

Tax and Legal Update: Rules for Designated Gifts
with Frank Sommerville
Considerable confusion still exists in the church world regarding
designated gifts. Some take a very restrictive view, claiming that the
church may not accept any gift that is designated for a specific purpose
or person. Others take a very expansive view, claiming that the church
should assist donors in accomplishing the donor's charitable and
religious goals. The truth is somewhere between these two extremes.
This seminar will review the laws and requirements related to receiving, housing, and expensing designated funds.

Privacy Policy: Why Your Church Needs One

Churches possess private data about its members, including addresses,

The Biggest Change in Nonprofit Financial Reporting in More Than 20 Years is Here
with Mike Batts and Mike Lee
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently released a new
accounting standards update that represents the most significant change
to nonprofit financial statements in more than 20 years.
According to the FASB, the new standard aims to improve presentation of
financial information, ultimately making nonprofit financial reporting
statements more informative, transparent, and useful to readers.
Key provisions of the new standard include the following:
•Revises net asset classifications to just two...net assets with and without donor restrictions.
•Enhances disclosures for self-imposed limits on the use of resources
without donor-imposed restrictions and the composition of net assets
with donor restrictions.
•Requires the presentation of expenses by nature as well as function,
including an analysis of expenses showing the relationship between
functional and natural classification for all expenses.
•Requires qualitative disclosures on how a not-for-profit manages its available liquid resources.
•Requires quantitative disclosures that communicate the availability of
financial assets to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one
year of the balance sheet date.
•Allows for a choice between the direct and indirect method of reporting
operating cash flows; presentation of the indirect reconciliation is no
longer required if using the direct method.
The new standard is effective for annual financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is
permitted.

Compensation – It’s More Than A Paycheck
with Elaine Sommerville
While most employers and employees tend to focus on a paycheck,
compensation is more than just the paycheck. Compensation requires
thoughtful planning in order to provide the greatest benefit to the
employee at the least cost to the employer. Additionally, churches must
consider additional rules regarding reasonable compensation and
documentation that are not as crucial in the normal business
environment. Failure to work within federal law can result in penalties
to the employee as well as a threat to the church’s tax exempt status.

protection? This dialogue will take a look at why we need to discuss
the issue of church protection. By taking the correct steps, you are in

Tax and Legal Update - Payroll Tax Audits: Domestic and International Issues
with Frank Sommerville

practices when it comes to payroll management.

manually in Excel or using a more modern accounting and/or church
management system with integrations or data exports.
Stay tuned for more.
