Best Practices and Policies for Financial Accountability

In the Church of Christ, spiritual laws of truthfulness, and godly moral principles and customs can and should be the basis for standardized procedures and processes in the practical matters of exercising good stewardship in the Church. Any not-for-profit organization, and especially the Church of Christ, must recognize its responsibility towards its stated mission and the people that it serves. Further, it must be accountable to donors and recipients of its services, as well as to regulatory agencies. Its reputation for responsibility, accountability, ethics, and fair dealing is of high importance.

In the Metropolis of Portland we have striven to demonstrate good stewardship by establishing Best Practices and Policies for Financial Accountability, and implementing them. These policies are posted on the Metropolis of Portland web site in order to make them available to all interested parties.
