Built for your church
Church finance teams reviewing bank accounts and supporting records.

In practice

Review one account for a real period.

Record its activity and attach the supporting documents. Then compare the records with the bank statement and review differences with your team.

Compare transactions as well as balances

Use the bank statement and the transactions recorded for that bank account in ContaIglesia. Check dates, amounts and references to find deposits, payments and charges that need attention.

  • Distinguish the posting date from the bank date.
  • Look for fees and missing entries.
  • Keep documents that explain the review.

Explain a difference before adjusting it

A deposit in transit or an outstanding check may explain a timing difference. Check what happened before adding income or an expense just to make the balances agree.

  • The example is a manual comparison.
  • Use ContaIglesia records alongside your bank statement.
  • Transfers between your accounts are not new donations.

Before you start

Does this workflow require an automatic bank connection?

The workflow shown is a manual review. Compare your bank statement with the transactions and receipts recorded in ContaIglesia; the example does not require a bank connection.

How does the worked example balance?

The statement shows 4,100. Adding a deposit in transit of 200 and subtracting an outstanding check of 300 produces an adjusted 4,000 to compare with the books.

No. The trial lasts 14 days and requires no card. At the end, you decide whether to subscribe.

Can I use it for a project or ministry?

You can separate the accounts for a building project, ministry or campus and organize its transactions and receipts.
