Churches and faith-based organizations are a popular target for financial fraud and abuse of children because, frankly, they’re easier to accomplish in those settings. Besides the ample opportunities, most churches and organizations don’t do background checks, or screen the right people.

Close the gaps in your protection of those in your care with a comprehensive background check for organizations that serve children and manage funds, not a quick, cheap internet screening that lets fraudsters and sex offenders easily slip through.

Staff in church and faith-based staff tend to be trusting and unaware of potential risks. They may feel that suspicion and accountability fly in the face of their mission to be welcoming and supportive. They don’t know how to think like a criminal, in order to spot one.

Choose a balanced approach to protecting your organization’s reputation and those in your care with:

• Quality data from a database of over one billion records
• Knowledge of how criminal behavior hides and why it is frequently missed by instant background checks
• The human touch to verify gaps in search results and recommend gap analysis for red flags

Criminals have gotten smarter and more wily. Tech savvy individuals can easily infiltrate accounting processes that lack sophisticated internal controls, exposing organizations like yours to embezzlement. And, thanks to the Internet, pedophiles have developed networks that allow them to communicate the gaps in your security to others like them.

Seal the most vulnerable entry points in your church or organization’s security net with the background check types and custom coverages most pertinent to your specific operation structure and employee or volunteer roles.

Most churches don’t know that the top two best hiding places for pedophiles in your ministry are the roles of greeter and worship leader. Even churches that run church background checks on those volunteers and employees with access to children don’t typically screen the rest of the staff for sex offenses.

But roles where adults may have even occasional access to children or teens can provide pedophiles an opportunity for grooming (establishing a seemingly safe relationship to provide later opportunities for abuse).
