In addition to overseeing the financial operations of the conference, the purpose of the department is to process payroll and to administer employee benefits; keep accurate financial records; assist in budget planning for the conference departments, churches, and schools; train local treasurers and risk control officers; and to maintain efficient accounts payable management. The objective of the department is to ensure that God’s holy tithes and our members’ generous offerings are used prudently, carefully, and appropriately.
