Donation Slips

Post by a00927917 »

The new deposit slips we received only have a white and a yellow paper. There was a message on the dashboard of LCR at the beginning of the year, but now I can't find it anywhere. We used to keep the pink copy with the batch report, but now there's no pink. Do we just send both the white and the canary to the bank, or are we supposed to keep one. If someone has a copy of the message LCR had on or can tell me whether or not to keep one, that would be appreciated.

Many times in the fine print of a multi-part form, you'll see the instructions of who gets what part.

Another ward in our building showed me the new forms today. There is just a white and yellow copy. And the instructions on the white page still cleverly references the nonexistent pink copy. The wards/branches should keep the yellow copy the instructions said in LCR before they were removed.

In our ward, we also received deposit books that only contain White and Canary, but the instructions in the booklet describe giving White and Yellow to bank, and keeping Pink. The plastic deposit bags also describe sending White and Canary to the bank. We are pretty confused, and we will continue to use the White/Canary/Pink booklets, and keep Pink slips for our records.

We have the white/canary slips as well. What are we supposed to do? The instructions in the deposit slip booklet say to keep the (nonexistent) pink copy with the unit and include the white and canary copies in the cash and check compartments going to the bank.

Does it throw off the bank if there aren't deposits slips in both the cash and check compartments? Does it throw off our audit if we don't have a copy of the deposit slip in our records?

I thought I remembered instructions from the church, but I can't find them anywhere now. The quote above says there were instructions to keep the canary copy in the unit but these instructions have been taken down (which would match my recollection of there being some instructions that I can't find now). But that's not a lot of substantiation to base things on, and I think the auditor could be skeptical if all we can do is point to this quoted post. I'd like a little more, at least a few more people to confirm this recollection of instructions that were there then removed (and confirmation of what those instructions said). In the interim, we've been making a copy (xerox) of the deposit slip for our unit records. I'd rather have a clear procedure, since the procedures the church has provided aren't clear.

I figure we can't be the only unit making decisions about this, and yet all I can find in this forum is this thread from way back in August 2024, which never really got resolved. Any help is great appreciated, thanks!
