Internal Audit Coaching
Equip your ministry’s own team to conduct a structured internal audit of its financial systems. Church Training Center provides practical training, a comprehensive review guide, and follow-up coaching to help your team identify vulnerabilities, evaluate financial controls, and recommend meaningful improvements.
Prepare Your Internal Audit Team
A 90-minute Zoom training session prepares a team of three to five people to conduct a structured internal audit of your ministry’s financial system.
Keith Clark-Hoyos explains the audit process, the vulnerabilities that can exist in financial systems, and the practical safeguards that help reduce opportunities for errors and misuse of funds.
What the Training Covers
- Common areas of financial errors and fraudulent activity
- Vulnerabilities in financial procedures and systems
- Segregation of duties and appropriate safeguards
- How to conduct a structured internal audit
Conduct the Review With the Internal Audit Guide
The Internal Audit Guide provides structured checklists and practical instructions to help your ministry’s team examine financial practices, identify concerns, and document its findings.
Financial System Review Checklists
Checklists guide the team through each area of the financial system, identifying what to examine and what to look for during the review.
Campus Walkthrough Checklist
A physical walkthrough helps the team examine where financial materials are kept, who has access, and whether those access arrangements are appropriate.
Prepare Findings for the Governing Body
The guide also explains how to organize a report for the ministry’s governing body, including findings and recommendations for action.
Review Findings and Consider Improvements
After completing the internal audit, your ministry’s team meets with Keith Clark-Hoyos to discuss its findings, examine concerns, and consider practical improvements to financial procedures.
2-hour follow-up consultation via Zoom
During the Follow-Up Consultation
- Discuss issues and questions identified during the review.
- Explore relevant best practices and ways to strengthen financial safeguards.
- Brainstorm practical recommendations for ministry leadership to consider.
Additional coaching is available when further guidance would be helpful.
Choosing the Right Review Approach
Both services help ministries examine financial controls and procedures. The principal difference is who conducts the review.
Internal Audit Coaching
Your ministry’s own team conducts the examination, using Church Training Center’s training, guide, and coaching to structure its work.
Financial Controls and Procedures Audit
Church Training Center conducts the assessment of your ministry’s financial controls and procedures directly.
