Our church closed & reopened under district ruling. do we need to keep the past churches bank statements & ccl checks etc. or can we destroy them since we are a new church - same denomination.
Answer
I would hold on to the records according to this schedule...filed under the past church's name until I found out differently from an "expert".
I have several CPAs that are generous to contribute their knowledge on this site. Can she destroy them or should she hold on to them the allotted time? Please click on the comment link below to post your comment or answer.
Hope this helps,

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.
Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
