Giving expenses and reconciliation

A pledge or declaration is not a received payment. Finance staff verify received contributions before a unique receipt is issued. Reconciliation is recorded separately; reversal retains the original receipt and adjustment history.

Expense requests move from Draft to Pending Approval, Approved, Paid and Retired. The requester cannot approve their own expense, and approvers cannot pay it. Split payments never exceed the approved total. Additional approvals and ceilings follow Church Settings.

Books and reconciliation shows balanced journals, statement matching and financial periods. Reports support PDF, Excel, CSV and print with current church authorization. A closed period blocks new financial entries in that period.
