It is important for each organization to consider and review all the possible risk factors they might face. To assist you with this process, we have assembled a self audit form to help you uncover and properly review each possible risk, so that you may address its proper safeguards. Each organization is unique as they work to achieve their stated goals; thus, you will find some things may impact you more than others. We have divided this audit into five main areas to ease your review.

   One of the most critical element elements for ministries today is their procedures and safeguards which should be reflective of their risk management studies. This review should cover, handbooks, applications, job descriptions, day to day operations, and such that are continually updated so they are current with realized ministry risks and cultural risk changes. An annual review today is very necessary along with your annual risk management review.

   Employee and volunteer strategies are very important for your organization. Where would the organization be if it were not for those who assist the ministry continually in all the many aspects it may be involved with? Are proper safeguards in place to protect them and the organization, as each is challenged in today's culture?  Having things in proper perspective could yield a great return in attitudes, loyalty, retention, and work quality and efficiency.
