>Financial Issues Conference South
September 24-25

Did you know that 15% of churches have been impacted by embezzlement? Did you know that the IRS is targeting churches for non-compliance to financial, tax and payroll regulations? Did you know your church can face high fines and even jail time for non-compliance? Lee Wright from ALSBOM and CPA Don Setser, are hosting a Financial Issues Conference at Camp Whispering Pines on September 24-25. The cost is $35 a person which includes accommodations in the hotel (double occupancy, $55 single occupancy), three meals and all conferences. The cost is $25 without hotel accommodations. Topics will include: impact of the Health Care Bill on Churches; and essential tax, payroll, and procedure information for Pastors, Treasurers and Finance Committees. Our bi-vocational and smaller membership pastors should take special note of this conference. This conference will help solve and prevent most of the financial issues that are becoming more common in our MBA churches. We cannot over emphasize the importance of training your church Treasurers and Finance Committees in this information. Please visit www.alsbom.org/ccs or contact Thomas Wright for more information. Please register with Beverly at beverly@campwhisperingpines.com, or by calling 251-866-7868.
