Objectives of the study included; examining the effect of control environment on the management of finances, examining the effectiveness of control activities and establishing the effect of control monitoring, all on the financial management of SDA Church. The period of focus was between 2007 and 2010. The research adopted a cross-sectional survey design and triangulated both qualitative and quantitative methods. A sample size of 105 respondents was drawn from an accessible population of 125 respondents using both simple random and ______ sampling. Methods of data collection included mainly questionnaire survey and interview schedules with questionnaires and interview guides used as instruments. 100% the response rate was realized.
