Tax & Internal Controls Seminars
Each year, the BGCO presents seminars on tax issues, internal controls, and legal issues for churches. The seminars are designed specifically for churches and they are conducted in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and southeast Oklahoma each year. Materials used at the seminar are available throughout the year from the Church & Employee Benefit Services Office.
Assistance with tax issues is available to BGCO churches through a tax consultant, tax seminars, and books. For more information, contact the BGCO at 405.942.3800.
