Financial reporting, CRA compliance, and governance support for churches and Christian institutions that need to get it right — not just done.
Many organizations operate in good faith yet carry unknown risks — each with real financial consequences.
Inaccurate T3010 filings (annual charity return) and unclaimed HST rebates (a 50% sales-tax refund most charities qualify for) are the two most common — and preventable — compliance failures we see.
CRA audits, monetary penalties, and potential revocation of charitable status — ending your ability to issue tax receipts and triggering asset distribution requirements.
Absent dual-approval processes, irregular reconciliations, or unreviewed bookkeeping leave funds exposed to errors and misuse — often undetected until the damage is done.
Direct financial losses, erosion of donor confidence, and governance crises that fracture congregation trust and invite denominational or regulatory scrutiny.
ONCA non-compliance (Ontario's not-for-profit law) and boards without reliable financial reporting cannot fulfill their fiduciary duty — creating personal exposure for directors.
Director liability, forced asset distribution on dissolution, and loss of standing with lenders, grant funders, and denominational oversight bodies.
These issues can lead to CRA scrutiny, reputational damage, or loss of charitable status. We help you get ahead of them.
Most of these risks are preventable with the right support in place early.
