Charity Legal Risk Management Checklist

Just wanted to pass on this comprehensive checklist geared towards helping churches/charities minimize their legal risk. It helps you identify where you are strong and where you need improvement.

Check it out here.

My experience, limited as it may be, suggests that most churches fall woefully short in their policies, procedures and risk management. We have been working hard at CWL to sharpen this area and have made some tremendous progress but there is still a lot of ground to cover. If you are a pastor/charity leader this list may be a little overwhelming at first but it does help us understand the due diligence that is necessary.

I believe that in the coming years we are going to see massive church growth as revival impacts our nation – this is even more the reason to prepare now so we are structurally/legally ready for the growth.

Legal Risk Management Checklist

I just came across a great resource from Carters and Associates – it is a checklist to walk through as a church regarding your legal risk management.

Check it out here.

(Carters is a leading Canadian firm but I’m sure that many of the questions will be applicable in other countries as well)
