Fraud in Religious Organizations VII

More actions that a church can take to avoid fraud:

1.  Church boards should be open and forthcoming about problems and consequences of these problems.

2.  Churches should always remember that some things are too good to be true (See: Gene's 3 Rules of Fraud).

3.  It may be a good idea for churches to do background checks, including criminal background checks and credit checks, of their potential employees.

With these safeguards, churches can help to reduce the risk and rate of fraud.

Credit is given to Robert Cornell, Carol Johnson and Janelle Rogers Hutchinson and the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Fraud magazine for this thread.  NOTE that Ms. Hutchinson was inadvertently missed in the first six posts of this thread and deserves full credit for this thread as well.
