I have a couple of questions on how to handle funds received from the YW from a girls camp fundraiser. 1. They had a dinner, and received some checks, but mostly cash. I know it goes in the "Other, YW camp" account, but under whose name does the cash get entered? 2. Some members just donat...

A person in our ward died and in her will left money to the Ward Missionary Fund. The trust mailed to the bishop a W-9 form. How do we fill this out? It asked the following 1. Name. Do we put the bishop's name here? 2. Business name. Do we use COJCOLDS? 3. Federal Tax Classification. Choice is Indiv...

Is it possible to manually write a check if for some reason the MLS is down (computer or internet problems)? Is there procedures for this? Can one call the 1-800 number to get the funds authorized for the check, and then how would I enter it in MLS once it comes back up? We had an urgent need this l...

Question 32 of the financial audit talks about comparing the "Reconciliation Report" with the Church Unit Financial Statement. So what is the Reconciliation Report? Is that something that is run from MLS every month? Does the financial clerk need to run it? is it on the financial page on M...

Thanks for all the help with this. So the question is now this. We wrote the check for (using round numbers) $1000. We only had $200 in the "other camp" account. So we were -$800. Then last week we received $300 from a parent towards the scout camp, so we put that in the "other camp&q...

We need to transfer money from the budget to an other category. Reason: Bishop wrote a check for scout camp from the designated other category, but we didn’t have enough money to cover the full cost. So now our “other” category is in the red. Can I do the transfer in MLS, or do we need to write a ch...

Went to add a new MLS user. He was in the Bishopric years ago, so his name was on the list as inactive. I reactivated it, and went to add the privileges as HGPL, but the system gave me an error of "This member is already associated with a user. Please select another member" Nothing I could...

aeBrown, Thanks for the help. The links you referenced in the other thread work great, but I'm not allowed to navigate to the same page with my "Stake Membership Clerk" calling, I can only jump directly with the link. So, nice to have the link, which I can send to the bishopric! Thanks again

I’m having a hard time finding the online financial training. I’ve been asked by the Stake Pres to make sure a new Bishop and his counselors watch the “Financial Training video” as an action from their last financial audit. My official calling is “Assistant Stake Clerk for membership” so I’m not see...

Thanks, thats what I thought. now I can give him the exact amounts to put in each catagory.
