Columbia District Audit and Fund Balance Reports

The Audit and Fund Balance Report covering 2022 is due April 30, 2023. This report is for your church council/charge conference and for the annual conference. Be sure a copy is shared with the church council for their records.

This Audit Guide includes information about an audit, recommended procedures, and a checklist.

Here is the Fund Balance Report and the instruction sheet with detailed information about completing the report.

If you want more information about the audit, this article at Discipleship Ministries (which contains a webinar filled with answers to all your questions) is recommended. There is an upcoming free webinar on March 14 which  you can register for here.

It is important that the person completing the audit not be one of your counters, financial secretary, treasurer, or finance chair. Sometimes a church can "swap" finance teams with a neighboring church to complete the audit.

For 2023, we are asking you to submit a copy of the Fund Balance Report and Audit through your Church Dashboard. Your pastor or church administrator should have the login information (or you can contact the Columbia District office for assistance.)

If you have questions, please contact Columbia District Administrator at jennifer@umoi.org or 503-802-9227
