Limitations and questions
- Published subscription pricing depends on annual income, so the relevant current band needs checking
- This research does not establish hosting location, accessibility information, migration scope or the full range of export formats
- A claimed Gift Aid workflow should be tested against the church's declarations, claim corrections, reconciliation and independent-examination process
What the supplier publishes
- Cloud fund accounting and bank reconciliation
- Expense submission, receipts and approvals
- Donation records, Gift Aid and GASDS management
- Financial reporting
- ChurchSuite donation-data export
