Synods are now requested to remit their monthly payments to the Office of the Treasurer (OT) using a system developed by the Department for Information Technologies.  This system will allow you to download all of the pertinent data from your financial system to an Excel spreadsheet, which you then e-mail to OT.  Synods are also requested to sign an authorization form allowing OT to then draw the money from your bank via an ACH transaction. Details explaining how the system will work are found in the Synod Remittance Advice Manual . The Authorization for ACH Withdrawal Form  is to be completed and returned to John Temmerman, Controller.  The Synod Remittance Advice System (SRAS) contains the actual program for you to load into your system. If your synod is unable to use this new system at this time, you may continue to download blank SRA-1 Synod Remittance Advice Form to include with your monthly remittances.
