In Fletch’s book, Predators—The Case of the Church Embezzler, he uses a fictional case study of WheatFields Good News Church. Executive Pastor Dan Black created a report card to evaluate how the church is doing in the area of risk management. As you can see below, each area is scored from zero to ten. WheatFields gets an excellent average of 9.2.

As XP Dan Black said, “I think I’ll do a report card so that I can rate the church for 2019. That way, in future years I’ll have a benchmark to see our progress … at least I hope that we’ll make progress each year! WheatFields may have scored low in other Report Cards, but we’re doing well in Finances with a 9.2 average score”
