Finally, as you review the specific Chart of Accounts offered in Appendix 3, you may notice that there are no committees listed. Nomenclature that is descriptive of programs, rather than organizational entities, is preferable in my opinion because it reduces the tendancy of groups to isolate themselves from the overall community. In small ways it is important to keep the notion alive that we are a single community, each part serving the whole. Committees do have budgets and are responsible for administering them. They need to get routine budget reports showing how they are progressing through the year.
Good software helps.
Most committee functions are included within the chart of accounts, and can be coded to reproduce into a committee report. It is more important to collect costs about the worship committee or the RE committee than to collect all photocopying costs in one place. So, use several photocopy sub-accounts.
