Funds received through collections are to be counted by a minimum of two unrelated persons and the process observed by a third person. The accounting staff for the parish are not to participate in the counting process. Count sheets are to detail the receipts and signed by all of the counters present. A deposit slip is prepared. The count sheet, deposit receipt, ledger, and donor record are to be reconciled and balanced to one another. All four records are to be preserved for the audit/financial review.

- Members can be contacted through the CFO office
- Each member is appointed to a five-year term with a limit of two consecutive terms
- Membership reflects those with the capacity and experience to guide the Bishop with financial decision making. The DFC assists in developing the annual budget and must approve it each year. The DFC also reviews the financial condition of each public juridic person in the diocese. The acts of extraordinary administration are posted on the documents section of the Financial Services page.
- The DFC has five standing committees: audit, budget, credit, development, and investment. Bishop consults with the DFC on matters of $300,000 or more and seeks consent on matters of $500,000 or more.
