Strengthening the management of finances throughout the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Inter-America has been a priority for administrators responsible for the funds that come in from the many local churches and institutions in the fast-growing territory of 3.4 million members.
In order to better manage these funds, more than a dozen account managers and staff at the Inter-American Division (IAD) headquarter office in Miami, Florida, took part in two days of training last week on the church’s SunPlus software. SunPlus is a financial management and accounting application that features analytical tools.
“We are committed to strengthening the financial system in the territory of the Inter-American Division,” said Filiberto Verduzco, treasurer for the church in Inter-America, who took part in the training. “This seminar is crucial to better prepare our SunPlus team in assisting our treasury personnel so that we can optimize the use of the financial system.”
“This new training gives us as administrators the opportunity to expand our vision and better understand the financial information that we produce,” added Verduzco.
Mack Tennyson, CPA, PhD, director of the accounting software for the Adventist world church led the training session. He said that in the past, function of the SunPlus program was to retrieve financial data for preparing statements.
