The Church Record-Keeping and Auditing Training course can help leaders and clerks understand and fulfill their record-keeping duties. Accurate records help Church leaders minister more effectively to those they have been called to serve. Bishoprics, stake presidencies, clerks and assistant clerks, stake auditors, and members of stake audit committees should take each lesson that applies to them. Members newly called to these positions should take the applicable lessons soon after they have been called.
