Re: Signature Cards on LUFAS
When you pull up the copy of the check, the signature card(s) appear beneath it. If there's more than one, the earlier ones are visible by scrolling farther down.

Re: Financial Audit Questions
Are the audit forms not available in MLS? They used to be.

Re: Processing Donations in Shared Clerks' Office
One of the issues we have in a shared clerks office is other people coming and going while you are entering and counting donations. It can get very confusing and is also impossible to say the donor and amount without others hearing. I read this (See Handbook 1: Stake Presidents and Bishops, 14.5. T...

Re: Expenses
Can you? Yes. If an original receipt or an original invoice is lost, you can substitute in a written explanation with the payment’s purpose, a description of what was bought or paid for, the date the payment was made, the name of the person assisted (for payments from the fast-offering fund), and pr...

Re: Issuing and signing checks
The MLS Expense report has a clear line for the bishop's signature. In the middle of the page, just below the list of checks, there's a small line that acts as a divider with the name of the user who was logged on when the checks were issued. I consider it informational only. I don't consider that a...

Re: Issuing and signing checks
There's not actually a place for his signature on the report, because the only required signature is the bishop's. I don't have an issue with a financial clerk processing his own reimbursement, so long as the approval and signatures on the check come from someone else. The financial clerk's role is ...

Re: Writing a check to budget from Other account
According to your logic, then no matter what the stake does there will be no transparency ever. The stake doesn't have to justify to the wards how much money is allocated (though our stake does). In this case, the stake has provided an invoice to each ward that shows how much money is going to be w...

Re: Writing a check to budget from Other account
As mmaynor pointed out, by cutting a check from the Other category to the Ward, a paper trail is created. Further, by attaching all documents pertaining to the transaction, the paper trail is reinforced. Finally, the funds that are allocated to wards from the stake technically are the stake's to co...

Re: Writing a check to budget from Other account
- Rather than having each ward write a check or transfer to the Stake from our Other: Scout camp account, the Stake plans to withhold the amount due from the next quarterly allocation . Unless the stake normally manually sends budget allocation checks to each ward, I see this going very badly. Whil...

Re: Is the Ward Clerk required to take Bishopric Meeting minutes?
To be clear, the minutes of a meeting should almost never consist of what was discussed , but rather only what was decided . So when the Clerk is recording what assignments were made and what decisions were reached - those are the minutes. No need to rehash the previous meeting's discussion in the c...
